I ran a chk disk the morning, its ran through and rebooted was going normal shown windows splash screen then right back too chk disk again i press any key to skip chk disk and it then reboots....same process...tried F8 doesn't boot, tried last known config doesn't boot,unfortunately i don't have a cd to boot from. I really don't know what to do and need information from this drive. currently I'm running a start-up repair. If this doesn't work what ells could i try?? it shows the windows splash screen then goes right to a chk disk i have ran it twice already. why wont it just boot:banghead:

I'm assuming by F8 you mean Safe Mode?
If not, try Safe Mode and then select system restore.

Or if you have access to a live boot cd, you could try to run that and try to access your files

Use F8 and select the option to automatically reboot on failure, see if you are getting a bsod during boot.

The easiest way to fix it is to use a Win 7 disc, which you do not have.
I'll wait for another response with a possible work around.
