    Startup repair fails and reports with "hard disk error" as cause


    Yet from the same partition i'm able to boot into a "dual boot type install" of LUbuntu which im using just fine right now
    On my other hard drive with a windows 10 install. check disk reports NO errors

    Trying to boot from the windows 7 install dual boot begins booting but almost instantly kicks to an old style loading bar then goes to startup repair
    and it fails with the problem being "bad hard drive"

    but somehow it LUbuntu has no problem booting when i select to boot from it instead of windows 7
    all of my data MUST be intact because otherwise i wouldn't be able to boot at all. and i can see all the files on my drive just fine

    When I tried to boot in safe mode. it stopped after a few system files were loaded then went to startup repair. I dont remember the file it stopped at.

    I have no idea how to solve this??
    Is there some way to do a full repair of windows 7? not just the silly startup repair?

    This is a very urgent frustrating and serious problem
