In disk management you should see a partition named "System Reserved". It is 100 megabytes and by default has no drive letter assigned. Just right click on it and select "change drive letter and path". Then you can assign a letter.

ok I dont have a partition called "System Reserved". I have an Acer btw.

.
Is one of the unassigned partitions you have 100 megabytes?

No the smallest partition I have is 3.5 GB.

Can you post a screenshot of the disk management window displaying the partitions? That might help us figure it out.

The only way I can run chkdsk now is from command prompt after pressing f8 at startup>repair> command promt (sorry i forgot what the process is called), but had errors in writing the log.

Pls help. I'm trying to avoid a fresh install.

thx!

Disc Check Error

Thx, but Method 1:
I have done that. Chkdsk runs ONLY from here, but can not write a log for it. Gives me error 50 or something when it tries to write a log.

Method 2:
I have done that too. All is well according to the memory diagnostic tool.

[Disc Check Error

There seems to be some confusion w/ my issue. I dont have the
"Chkdisk wants to start at boot up, but can't" problem.

My issue is that I wanted to run chkdsk because my computer Win7 froze, so when I powered back on I tried to run chkdsk. I found out that I can not run chkdsk from GUI or a command promt.

The computer runs fine, I have NOT tried system restore yet because I have never needed to, and the last program I installed was about 5 months ago (which I uninstalled when I initally saw the chkdsk error).

Also I dont have a Win7 install DVD, I just have a Win7 UPGRADE dvd which does not have a repair option.

My friend has an OEM Win7 Pro install disk. Can I use his install disk to repair my Win7 Home?

OEM?It would be better if it's RTM

Sorry thats what I meant. He bought Win7 at retail.
So would the Win7 Pro repair work w/ my Win7 Home?
