I get a stop error message when I start the laptop. How do I get rid of this
screen and run CHKDSK/F as instructed?

Here are a few options:
- Try starting the laptop in Safe Mode.
- Start it with a Bart PE boot CD.
- Remove the disk, then install it in an external USB case and run chkdsk on
some other PC.

In all cases you must make sure that your important files (including your
EMail files) are backed up to a different medium BEFORE attempting any
repairs.
