Hi there,
Im trying to get my C: drive to work, however once i go into chkdsk, it just comes up that my C:Drive in corrrupt or unreadable and i was just looking for next steps ?
 
Solution
Slave that disk to another Windows PC and call up a Command Prompt. At the Prompt, type
chkdsk x: /r
where x is the drive letter the system allocates to your disk. The /r switch is the Command equivalent of Fix only a little stronger. It triggers a five stage process that tries to find and fix file and disk errors and repair damaged sectors or even clusters.
