ok, my apologies for
not explaining the
recovery console a
bit further.
here is link for additional
info of it. go to the second
section "how to use the
recovery console"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654
basically, it entails
logging into the disk system,
similar to logging into
the windows system.
some people have more
than one operating system,
but for most regular folks
entering the number 1 will
log you into that line item.
then most people don't
use passwords for logging
into windows, so simply
pressing the enter key
will bypass those requests.
refer again to my prior posting
and once you get to the disk
prompt>:
run the checkdisk
also you might want
to run before the above
and then afterwards:
chkntfs.exe c:
-------------------------------
it is my belief that it
is imperative to complete
this checkdisk because the faulty
ones that had run numerously
and without success may have
created pending issues yet
to be resolved and finalized.
you can't be sure of anything
until a successful checkdisk
provides a confirmation.
just some added fyi:
the checkdisk and the
master boot record (mbr)
are linked together.
here is some read on
checkdisk which may
be enlightening.

I should also add that I checked for updates from Microsoft and there
were none. Also that I was able to make a System Restore Point but
wasn't able to strore it to an earlier date.

ok, I tried to do this again but when I entered 1 and pressed enter it
restarted the computer. I guess it does need the adminstrator password
and perhaps I don't have the correct one, although I thought I did. If
indeed I am putting in the wrong one I don't know where or how to look
for the right one or to change it.
Thoughts/Suggestions?
