Windows 7: User/owner

Hi, I went to command prompt and made a chkdsk/f and it asked me user/owner
so I put my user name but it keeps asking for it, what am I doing wrong ?

My laptop say :C dont I have to type chkdsk c ?

Why do you need to run CHKDSK from the command prompt?

Due to I got An unexpected i/o error has occurred 0xc00000e9 so i tried many thing and read in this forum to perform a chkdsk to find wat error or bad sector.. I am doing dis in safe mode the only way i can log in and perform some action.. I tried system restore to an earlier date and no progress, so i want to see if i have to buy a new hard drive...

So I assume you are booting from the win 7 dvd and opening a cmd from it? I/O error can mean the HD, the controller, a driver, etc.

can you boot windows in safe mode?

I can open window in safe mode and its an acer aspire notebook no dvd/cd driver.
I tried in none safe mode open window normally but it stays loading and then
screen turns black, no type of images, no words..
I did window repair thats when the error shows up.
I opened window in safe mode did a system revovery, no progress.
Now trying the chkdsk option I read here in this forum.
Btw if I nvr knew about dis site it is great.

Did you right click CMD and run as administrator?
Also you need to put in spaces after chkdsk and C:
Like this chkdsk C: /F

Nop not right clik but ill try all options tks.

Hi, can I re-install window 7 using my usb in safe mode ? I have window 7 in my usb..

Did you get chkdsk to run?

You will need to boot using your USB. Change the boot order in your bios to look for a USB device to boot with instead of the HD.

Is your USB drive bootable? You cant just copy a Windows 7 disk or .iso file to a USB. Read this for instructions. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html

Let Windows format and install on your hard drive.

Before you go reinstalling Windows 7 you should determine whether or not your disk has errors, unless you want to be doing this all over again in the near future. What was the result of running checkdisk? Did it ever complete successfully?
