I was having issues with the DVD on my IBM thinkpad so I foolishly decided to disable it. Now it will not boot. After starting it,a blue screen comes up and tells me to run the "chkdsk /F" command, but I don't know how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am Technotarded and should have known better than to disable anything.

My question is:

How do I get my computer back to working again?

(1) How have you disabled the DVD, (2) describe better the blue screen. You could edit your post with the new data, and also add a comment below to inform me of it. (Note: precede the comment with @harrymc so I would get notified.) – harrymc Mar 3 '11 at 12:50
It would also be good to know what model thinkpad it is. It sounds likely to be a problem with your hard drive; there are probably testing utilities you can run, but how you get them depends on what you have. – Chris Mar 3 '11 at 13:01
