inaccessible boot device

[Guest sia]

I have this blue screen with the above message and one of the corrective

action is to do 'chkdsk /f' How do I do this? Is this the same as xp, boot to

recovery console. Need your guidance please, thank you

RE: inaccessible boot device

 

Found the provedure but when I type in at C:\> "CHKDSK /F" without quotes, it

give a message "The parameter is not valid"

Then I tries 'CHKDSK /R', it tend starts checking the volume. I am quite

sure that I did not misread the original message and asked to do 'chkdsk /f'

What is the difference between /f and /r ?

Anyone can enlighten this, thanks
