Okay so I have a big catch 22 of a computer issue. I'm going to type this out a bit weird, mostly for my own sake to make it easier.
One day I try to run Security Essentials to check my computer. Get an error that says a file is corrupted and it cannot complete scan. Tells me to run disk check. Cannot run disk check or schedule a disk check when the computer starts. Do some digging on google. Run chkdsk in command prompt, that doesn't work, but I figure out a way to find out where shit is going bad and what file is corrupted (don't remember how, but involves a notepad file). Turns out some file involved with disk check is fucked, which means windows cant auto fix the problem/auto replace the file (disk check is needed for that). This also makes it so I cannot restore my computer to a previous date.
I'm running windows 7 64-bit on a laptop. The only solution I've come up with is that I have to re-install windows or replace the file with the one on my original windows 7 disc, which I do not have nor do I have access to any windows OS disk (don't recall my laptop ever coming with one. If it did it's gone).
So, there you go. Please help save my sweet old laptops poor little life! I was planning on waiting till the release of windows 10 and just starting from scratch, but there hasn't been a release date announcement yet so I don't want to wait any longer.
