wolfeking · Nov 24, 2011

ran chkdsk on sisters laptop because it said that chrome.exe was currpt and running chkdsk could fix it. I ran it and got this message

so how can i change it from read only to whatever mode it needs to correct the errors?

Use chkdsk /r to repair the discs.

Also might help to run hard drive makers disk diagnostic utility on it.

is there a way to find the brand of HDD without disassembling the laptop? Because I dont have the tools to take it apart here at grandads.

Device manager under drives, need model number.

Use a blank flashdrive and use the Yumi-multi-boot. Download the ISO and then choose the option to add any ISO.
