error checking on vista

the pc stops at 15 percent
I tried a few times
I tried hitting a key to stop the checking
it keeps on going
thanks in advance

 

Use a barttools or equivelant to test the drive.

 

Sorry I have no clue what you mean
I need baby baby steps. I am a pc moron
I tried closing the pc a few times
I tried control alt delete
thanks in advance

 

Can you boot into windows at all?

 

no.
but I keep trying
thanks for help

 

Google "bart tools pe" - this is a windows xp that starts from a cd or DVD, and will let you do diagnostics/drive scanning without the need for the hard drive's windows to start. There are also a lot of Linux DVDs and CDs that do essentialy the same thing (called Live CD or Live DVD).

 

Thank you so much. I left a message with a friend And I am sure with your advice my pc will be fine
thank you again
