about a month or two ago i used the system discs to fully recover my laptop, now a few days ago it displayed some of the same symptoms that caused me to use the discs in the first place. very slow, sometimes not booting at all. startup repair worked a couple of times and now that wonæt even work. under the System Recovery Options i opened the Command Prompt and the message that i get there is as follows: X:\sources\recovery\Tools>
when i tried chkdsk/f it says cannot lock current drive. (write protected was the issue)
when i tried just chkdsk this is the gist of what i got in return:
WARNING! F parameter not specified. running chkdsk in read-only mode.
stage 1 - 29 file records processed (0large, 0bad, 0EA, 0reparse)
stage 2 - 43 index entries processed/verified/etc.
stage 3 - 29 security descriptors, 7data files
windows found no problems
3086KB total disk space
(and a bunch of other numbers followed)
"Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50."
now, i'm not computer whiz, but isn't that an awfully small amount?? i don't know what is going on, but ANY true help would be greatly appreciated!!
