How to run CHKDSK in a busted Win 7 and no Win CD?
Now it won't boot, starts up its diagnostic but this runs in an endless loop, same with safe mode. I am fairly sure it is a corrupt windows. I need to run chkdsk but don't have the win CD. It will ne arriving late next week though. I tried a Bart cd but it crashes BSOD. I looked at something called "ultimate windows boot CD" but can't find anything which fixes file system. I am running now HDD Regenerator V1.51. It claims to fix any arrors across diff platforms, but is slow. Will take about 3-5 days. HDD is 2 TB.
The owner is happy for a clean format and install. Maybe there is something I can do in the meantime while waiting for the windows CD to arrive? I only have XP machines elsewhere so vo win 7 cd's.
System is win 7 home prem
