Boot irritation!
Hi guys. First off, can I just make it clear that I CAN boot into Win7, and once in everything works fine.
The irritation is that after selecting Win7 from the boot menu ( I dual boot with Win10 which is on a seperate ssd) I'm presented with a black screen with "Loading windows files" at the top and then a loads of files scroll past for about 5 secs.
The screen then changes to another black screen where I'm presented with my system details, cpu ram etc.
Then I get a screen with:-
Checking file system on \\?\volume{....................etc
The type of the file system is NTFS
The first NTFS boot sector is unreadable or corrupt.
Reading second NTFS boot sector instead.
The volume is clean.
It then boots into win7 and everything is ok.
It was fine until recently.
Any ideas, remedies folks?
Thanks. Dave

I forgot to say that I tried a repair install from within Windows but just as it was finalising it told me that it had failed and would restore to the previous install!!
