Hi - I hope someone here can help me.
A few weeks ago my laptop stopped booting up and asked me to back-up my data as the hard disk was dying.
I managed to copy all my partitions to my desktop using PARAGON, but the disk drive totally died soon afterwards.
So I put in a new disk drive and, using Paragon, recovered my partitions.
Much to my surprise Windows 7 booted up after a long disk check, with LOADS of errors.
Everything seemed OK and all my files and programs seemed to be working. Windows updated all by itself, Word, Excel, Outlook, my HP printer - everything seems fine. But it was short lived, when I use IE or FireFox they constantly lock up on certain sites (for example downloading Chrome).
I did a full CHKDSK but no more errors. I then attempted a SFC /SCANNOW in safe mode.
And again in my normal boot-up using "run as administrator" and I did it MANY TIMES.
But it keeps failing, then I found this web site - HELP??????
I did a SCANFIX and will attach the logs as requested (and the CBS logs) - AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT HOW.
I should add here that I was unable to load my System Disk when ScanFix asked me to, as I do not have that DVD.
I found a Windows 7 Home Premium ISO on The PirateBay - but I was a bit worried about downloading that.
Microsoft use to provide the DVD online for free, but that page now asks me for a code and the OEM one does not work.
Thanks.
