Well found this and it seems to confirm my thought http://forum.notebookreview.com/samsung/701927-clean-install-windows-7-8-samsung-7-series-chronos-laptops-expresscache.html. The mob is fine I am quite sure. After reading up that link makes sense it is late for me but I am going to try that guide after work tomorrow and will post an update for better or worseml.

Yeah..when I do a chkdsk the hdd comes back as good but when I do a diskpart and look at the hdd it says it has no free space odd right. I ha e not had time to sit down and check a few other things on it.
