Ok try F12 and post back what you see if you need guidance.

alright..
I did the whole F12 thing and booted up the cd from that..

It asked me 'which windows installation..' and I got through that and the admin password ok..
then it asked me for a prompt so after it showed " c:\windows> " so then I typed in CHKDKS..

then it says "type full path <including drive letter> for the location of AUTOCHK.EXE : CHKDKS "
I'm not sure where to go from here.

I believe you chose 1 for C:\Windows. It will then show you C:\Windows.

From there just type CHKDSK /R

I tried typing in CHKDSK /R like you suggested, after C:\Windows showed up, but it just keeps saying

"AUTOCHK.EXE cannot be found in the specified location"

Enter this command in C:\Windows...

CD system32

The prompt should show C:\Windows\System32

Then enter CHKDSK /R command again.
