[QUOTE="Rolo, post: 413672, member: 37118"] Let chkdsk do its thing. You most likely can forget booting since those files/settings got corrupt. What I would do is [LIST] [*]Let chkdsk finish [*]RUN MEMTEST86+ FIRST! (too late but that's what you do before disk diagnostics--if your RAM is corrupt, you'll corrupt the data on the disk) [*]Copy everything you want to keep onto another disk/media/flash drive, whatever [*]Run thorough disk diagnostics with PartEd or OEM tools (WD, Seagate, et. al.) to see if it can be reformatted and reused (or returned if under warranty); check SMART data [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
