Upgraded to Windows 10. Was working fine now NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM error boot loop.
How do I get a repair disc to repair windows?

Do you have another laptop or computer to download a windows 10 installer from the microsoft website and boot to that from a usb?

 

[Christopher Gehlke]

you can use your windows installation disk, or recovery partition to run a chkdsk on your c:\ partition. Usually its like this:

chkdsk /x /f c:

/x dismounts the volume and /f means automatically fix the file system.

Also you may want to run a diagnostic on your hard drive, as sometimes this error can happen if the hard drive is failing. But usually improper shutdowns will start corrupting the file system.

Yes I have the broken HD plugged into an external hard drive caddy.

I ran a Disk Check, it's fine. Just Windows has broken I think.

Yes I have a PC. I just took the laptop HDD out of my laptop and t's just plugged into my pc via usb in a caddy. That's how I ran chkdsk on it primarily.

The best course of action is to reinstall windows, you can get a windows 10 installer from the microsoft website and boot to that and see if it has a recovery section (which i am unsure of) but if it does not you may have to clean install

Ok, I downloaded some Windows 10 media setup, it allows to upgrade or download windows 10 media so downloading windows 10 now, will burn to a disc and try.
