Hello All!
I have an HP Touchsmart IQ500 running Vista. Everytime I turn on the computer it runs CHKDSK, gets to 50%, then goes into sleep mode.
When I take it out of sleep mode, I just get a black screen. When I try to start in safe mode, it freezes...I don't know what to do. When it gives the option to skip disk checking by pressing any key, I press keys/click mouse but it continues the count down and runs CHKDSK. Yes, I also tried touching the screen to skip disk checking. :p
I had been able to access windows and when I tried to run system restore, I get an error that found something about corrupt files or a file needing to be checked. I am no longer able to access my files or even get to my home screen/windows.
I've looked at simlar threads but nothing seems to be working. I don't have the disc. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
