i just ran the fast scan and came up with
sector block (217604322 to 217604322) failed verification
disk 0 random verify failed

can some one help me out? my computer was fine until it restarted for an update now i get the blue screen of death and it will not even let me into safe mode to get rid of the update.

also if it is doa can i get my info off the laptop or am i done?

thanks for any advise on this

shay114,

I would attempt to start in safe mode command prompt and run chkdsk /f to see if you can remap the bad sectors on the disk.  You may be able to boot into windows then.

If chkdsk does not work, windows repair/recovery may help, if all else fails you can remove the hard disk and mount it on another computer to retrieve the data.

shay114,

I would mount up the drive in another computer and backup your data before you do anything else.  If you don't feel comfortable doing this, take it to a qualifies repair center.
