I turned off my computer during a chkdsk

| ask /tech/ but they probably will not help and start screaming about Linux instead...
| I think you can try to reinstall without lose data, try to see if there is some system recovery you can load. Tried to access via security mode?
| Back up what you need on a flash drive to be safe
| >>369646 I can't, it says that there isn't operative system. I can't even enter the BIOS of the laptop, (Acer Aspire v5-571G) for some reason is locked in this model
| squeeze in a thumb drive with a mounted linux image on it and grab your data like so, or take the HDD out and plug it into another PC then copy the data from there

The BIOS of these laptops aren't locked, but they can actually get corrupted pretty easily (I had a V5 as well).
You'd need to probably take the drive out, scan it in another PC, then see if you can attempt a recovery. From what I see, you have corrupted your boot sector (which is mostly MBR, from the looks of it). If you are lucky, this can be easily fixed.

| Now the system won't start up. Is it possible to reinstall Windows without loosing data, or should I make a clean install?
(And yes, I know this thread should be on /tech/, but I want actual help)
