Is DDS 10 good to go with Windows 7 Ultimate x64? [Rescue BootDisk too)

Thread needs solution

I am having an issue and I do hope I can get into my Win 7 Ult x64 with my rescue boot disk made in XP. Or maybe Acronis has a x64 DDS & TI 09 availble for me to use.

I may need to go to DDS and try "repair" and then if that don't do it, maybe "move" the partition to my SATA drive (Win 7 is on an IDE drive).

You see, I am having File Structure corruption errors in Win 7 and it wants me to run Chkdsk. Well, it ran it on the next boot up, again and again. On into an infinate loop. Had to actually resort to pulling the plug. The On/Off and reset buttons didn't work.

I am about to boot up again. I did shut down ok last night. I really hope that I can do this with that rescue disk. I know about going to the repair console and using FixBoot, FixMBR, and stuff. I am just doing things in an order; From easiest to hardest.

Thanks,

Use your Windows 7 installation DVD to boot your PC and go to a command prompt. Then run chkdsk /r. Forget about FixMbr, FixBoot, etc; they won't help in this situation since the PC is booting properly.

Was your disk originally formatted by Disk Director before you installed Windows 7? Did you let the Windows 7 installer format the disk or did you just use the already DD-formatted partition?
