Major Computer malfunction - Please Help

Motorboat Cruiser · 07-25-2006, 02:33 PM

Ok, I found the disk. It loaded up the files, then gave me the option of clean install or repair. I chose repair. It proceeded to load the recovery console, then gave me a DOS prompt. And there it sits...

Any thoughts?

Edited to add, I was able to run chkdsk. It found one or more errors on the drive. Thoughts?

I'm obviously trying desperately to avoid reformatting at all costs.
