turned my laptop on this morning, and it blue screened.
I can't get into safe mode.

I think it might be my harddrive, is there a way i can run chkdsk or something without the use of a cd rom drive? Or XP cd? I dont have a dvd rom

I would try making a bootable usb stick with BartPE.
GoCoding.Com - PeToUSB - Boot BartPE From USB

[andrewsvalesen]

call me naive, but how does this work? Ive never heard of it before..
putting this on a usb will allow me to boot into windows??

[Hefemeister]

No it will allow you to boot into dos so that you can run a chkdsk /r command

[andrewsvalesen]

so i just run /chkdsk /r or something like that? I'm assuming it goes straight to the dos command prompt

BUMP!!!

I get this error when I went to a website ON MY OTHER LAPTOP, and now I have a blue screen now.
What on earth is happening?
Is there any possible way i can run chkdsk without any other software involved? my gf doesnt have a thumb drive to put any data on it.
