Is there anything I should tick/agree when it starts?

Hmm. Blue screen as far as I know means there is a problem with your video card. Had you have it checked by someone who knows it?

Huh? If it's the Blue Screen of Death it could be any one of a million things. The clue in this instance would seem to be the mention of the hard drive...

Ok think I've gone wrong somewhere:oBefore I did this, think I ran just chdsk, it came up in black box etc.. then did your instructions just now, switched off laptop when it came back on a black screen came up looked like it was starting it, then it just came on as normal.

If you got the command prompt with run as administrator, then typed chkdsk /r (with the space), then got a box asking you to type Y to confirm, typed Y then pressed enter, it should have run check disc after it was restarted

Did any of the above happen?
