Hi,
I'm on windows XP on a Samsung Netbook.
Basically I just have a black screen when I try to boot up. I've tried safe mode several times, but after selecting safe mode I still return to a black screen. I've tried all the safe modes offered.
I have also tried recover and I get the following message:
The file or directory c:\WINDOWS is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility
How do I do this if I can't start up, do I head to the command screen and simply type Chkdsk after the prompt?
Also I've investigated repairing xp, but I don't have a cd drive (it's a netbook) or external drive and all the about creating a usb repair file that I've found on this site so far, don't work.
Have I lost all of my files/ data?
I appreciate any help that I can get. I took the day off work to get some things done on a few projects and this has really set me back some and I'm concerned about the data loss. Is there any way I can get it back?
