I strongly recommend a backup USB disk. Please backup everything C: and D:

A trick that I use all the time is to boot the machine from the original
Windows installation CD.
After HALL, you=B4ll be asked for repair R.

Please select that.
Then a console will prompt the directory, usually "1", and the Admin pass.

Then you have access to a lot of commands like chkdsk, format, mbrfix, help
very handy...
