Also on chkdsk its says it found one or more errors on disk,

is this a hardware failure?

please direct me to another forum if this is in the wrong place?

That could be an indication of a hard drive going bad or is bad. A sector (or multiple) sectors may be permanately damaged. Is there any clicking noises, etc...?

I have seen this error when I leave a thumbdrive or external HD plugged in to the USB ports. If that is the case, unplug it and reboot.
 
Have you tried using the repair console and the fixMBR program.
