a while ago i ran the 'chkdsk' utility and while it was running i decided it was taking to long & cancelled. after that windows 7 would no longer start. so i decided i would reinstall everything to my now useless HDD but problem is, my CD drive stop working too so i am now being forced to use a usb drive to install windows 7. now, upon the initial steps of installing windows 7, it told me that my partition (the one where the 'now' currupt windows 7 resides) is in read only mode.
but i'm starting to question: is it the disk? or is it windows 7 that is currupt? after cancelling chkdsk while it was running?
also, i guess my TRUE question is: if i format the entire disk, will it solve the problem of not allowing me to write to it? and will i have to create partitions after that?
i'm a newbie. any help would be greatly appreciated ^___^.
