hello,

since couldn't access neither windows nor recovery console booting windows installation cd rom, way start laptop , go files ubuntu live cd. so, used 'gedit' tool check drive , here informations :

code:

error: software has detected disk has @ least 1 bad serctor.  ##########################################################  warning: disk has bad sector. means physical damage on disk surface   caused deterioration, manufacturing faults or other reason. reliability   of disk may stay stable or degrade fast. suggest making full backup   running 'ntfs clone --rescue...' run chkdsk /f /r on windows , reboot   twice ! can resize ntfs safely additionally using bad sectors   option of ntfsresize.  ##########################################################

now, wish rum chkdsk unfortunately can't because don't have access command shell under windows can run equivalent chkdsk ubuntu live cd ??? have suggestion ?

hi there!

sorry hear problem. unclear whether had windows , ubuntu file systems check or windows ones?

both can checked terminal on live cd - boot , open gparted (on desktop) work out each of partitions want scan - , file system are, example /dev/sda1 - ntfs, /dev/sda2 - ext4

open terminal pressing ctrl+alt+t

scanning of linux filesystems

code:

sudo fsck -t ext4 /dev/sdax -set x number of linux partition in gparted.

it'll ask repair errors makes - want yes add '-y' between '4' , '/'

scanning ntfs (windows)

code:

sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdax - set x number of windows (ntfs) partition in gparted

hope helps
