I have a HP laptop which wants to scan and repair drive C on each boot up. It gives me the option to press a key to abort this and if I do windows doesn't start properly. It gets to the windows screen but takes an hour to do this then doesn't allow me to do anything else as the pointer appears to be thinking all the time. This can be for ages and then comes up with windows is not responding.
If i let it scan it can take from 4-8 hours and then loads windows but is very slow.
I didn't do a recovery when I got it (I know I'm stupid) and it had a lot of my photos on which I have managed to get onto a stick. I tried to reinstall windows from another computer owned by a neighbour (same computer just bigger drive) but it hasn't helped.
Any ideas please as getting desperate
