Last night, I fell asleep watching a Top Gear on my laptop. This morning I wake up, grab the laptop and it says that a Font won't load and to run chkdsk.
I open the cmd prompt and run chkdsk from within Windows (Vista Home Premium). No errors. I don't have time to deal with it, so I launch Winamp and surf the web for a few minutes before hitting the shower.
Tonight, I'm surfing and listening to winamp when I remember that I need to work on the laptop. So, I reboot and it goes into a screen saying that it will check my disk drive. I'm assuming this is chkdsk.
After that finishes, it reboots (I didn't see this happen, I was doing laundry at the time, so I don't know if it displayed any type of message), I log in and I start getting errors from programs trying to load. No program that I launch will load, they all are broken shortcuts. So, I open the C: drive and low and behold, my Program Files folder is gone.
So, I try to launch system restore, error, run chkdsk. Fuck.
Okay, is my disk drive fucked? Should I just wipe it and reload all my software? What can I do?
I'm hitting the road tomorrow for vacation and it will suck if I have to spend all tonight rebuilding my laptop.
Help!
(yeah, I did post this in operating systems as well, but I need to get working on it asap, so off topic it goes)
Keep it in OS.
