Ok, so I come home today from a match at 11pm, ready to print out my paper that is ten pages long! I was then ready to go to bed. However, when I logged in I was getting alot of random erors. And when I would try to click a program to run, I would get an error. So I restarted the computer and it said there was a driver problem, and so that I should run the repair disk.
So I put in the install cd for windows and ran the repair par but when I use the chkdsk command it says that it contains one or more recoverable problems.
So, is there another command I can use? Right now I am download this file recovery program. I am not sure how it will work, but all I really need is to get a few files out of my documents.
Also when I view partitions it says free space is almost 100%. Its like all the data is gone!
Please give me tips as this paper is worth 80% of my WHOLE grade.

Ok this is not really a solution but more of a temp fix for your problem as you need the paper tomorrow. Startup windows repair screen as you did but instead of repairing windows install another copy on your computer. It likes it if you store on another partition if you have one, if not i guess it will be ok.
I did this to my computer at home and i am able to access all my files no problem. I am planning on backing up all my files and then formatting the entire PC. Hope this helps!

This happened to be before and I had to call the Geek Squad (haha, cool I know). I know how you feel though, under pressure and feeling like your going to fail your class and your whole life is going to be ruined (well maybe not that severe :) )
Heres what you need to do: Restore your computer to an earlier time.
How to Restore your Computer:
Click Start button
Click All Programs button
Click Accessories button
Click System Tools button
Click System Restore button
*A screen will then pop up and ask you to when you would like to restore your computer (you will not loose any documents or anything you have worked on as long as you saved it to your computer) your computer will restart itself, and then when it starts up it should be good as new.
If this does not work (which I am almost certain it will) get your guardian to write a sincere note explaining what happened, and most likely your teacher will understand your situation and give you a break.
Good luck!

Rule number 1. Always back up important files.
Too bad you had to learn this way.
