If you have time and can help then thank you.

Hello Bumpydog, welcome to NST,

Have a read over this. Startup repair may require you to try it a few times in order to fix everything, or for you to fix bad sectors on the disk before you can use it correctly. Try "chkdsk c: /r". Its a bit more useful but it'll take longer.
 
Hi kairozamorro

Thank you for looking over and replying to my post.
I have tried the chkdsk c: /r .
This did take more time covered more sectors however it still wont load OS. It stated that it failed to transfere log message log Status 50.
Also there was 2kb in bad sectors which I have seen stated when I did a test previously. Is there anything eles that I can look to carry out.

Regards
