I booted up the Windows 7 cd again.

I don't have the 'Repair you computer option' for this step:

  • At the "Install Windows" screen, click on Repair your computer at lower left

I see 3 drop-down menu boxes that say:

-Language to install

-Time and currency

-Keyboard or input method

 

Where do I find "Repair you computer"?

From: What are the system recovery options in Windows?

 

To access the System Recovery Options menu

If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disc, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
If you have a Windows installation disc:


  • Insert the installation disc.
  • Restart your computer.
    Click the Start button 4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33_47., click the arrow next to the Lock button eb058ccf-b21e-4dfe-9bb7-1ad6c83b705c_15., and then click Restart.
  • If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note
    • If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or DVD, check the information that came with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  • Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  • Click Repair your computer.
  • Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  • On the System Recovery Options menu, click Command Prompt

I was able to enter System Recovery Options and enter Command Prompt.

I followed the instructions for chkdsk, but i used E drive.

 

--"For chkdsk, type chkdsk c: /r and press Enter (use the letter from above if not C: )."

 

The test completed after a few minutes. And here are the results:

I'd like to see the results of diskpart as in this post: http://www.geekstogo...l/#entry2396496

 

One possible fix:

 

Save all the data from the E: drive to somewhere else.

Open Disk Management.

Right click on the Disk 0 (E: drive) and select Delete Volume.

Right click on Disk 0 and Create a new volume that spans the entire Disk 0.

Do a Quick Format then copy the saved data back.

 

See if that resolves the problem.
