Morning All,
I'm having some problems getting a Lenovo desktop PC to start up, loaded with Windows 8.1. Belongs to my sister, her daughter knocked the tower over a couple times and now it wont start up. I have physically reseated all components to ensure everything is connected properly in case.
I first tried auto repair and it failed, then tried System Refresh and Reset options but they both eventually ask me to insert an installation disc, which of course does not exist.
After lots of searching and failed troubleshooting tips from the web I was able to get chkdsk to run and this is whats currently displayed in command prompt window:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]
X:\windows\system32>chkdsk C: /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Windows8_OS.
Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ...

0 bad file records processed.
Stage 2: Examining file name linkage ...

CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the bitmap for index $I30 for file 21721.
The cursor is just under the last line slowly flashing but nothing else seems to be happening right now and it has been like this for at least 4-5 hours, as of 940 am Monday April 11, 2016.
Any suggestions/recommendations will be appreciated, thank you
