Thanks for the help,

STEP 1
I try unplugging and replugging the cable every time i get the problem and it does seem to make a bit of difference. i.e When i'm getting boot errors, i fiddle with the cable and then get as far as the windows loading screen, and sometimes even in to windows. It varies a lot. Sometimes i'll just get another boot error message.

STEP 2
I tried this already whilst inside windows, which scheduled one for after my restart. It took around 2 hours to complete, which seems a very long time for a check disk. It didn't say that it found any errors however.

Shall I run this again but this time from the windows disc as you suggested, or is it not necessary to do it again?

STEP 3
I've already tried this whilst in windows, but i'll give it another go from the disc.
