Log into windows using on screen display and try repairing the drive.  Your on-screen-keyboard will be needed.

  1. Open Windows File Explorer (Windows + E keys) > right-click on the drive you want to check and repair > select Properties.
  2. In the Properties window, switch to the Tools tab.
  3. In the Error Checking window, click Scan drive.

 

Some S.M.A.R.T errors can be fixed by doing a disk scan.    Once the drive is repaired you may want to clone it to a new drive.  Do not do sector by sector cloning as you do not want to clone the bad sectors

 

 The application speedfan can lookup the S.M.A.R.T errors and give a diagnostic.

I can’t get in because the message says use F2 key or Enter to continue. I can’t access the on screen keyboard unless I actually log in, so how am I to do that? I can’t even access the menu without logging in.

My mistake, i thought your on screen keyboard was working.

Is this a touch screen system?  if not, you will  need to borrow a USB keyboard-mouse combo.

Yes, it’s a touchscreen. Sorry for not mentioning…I’ll be able to borrow a friend’s keyboard and connection tomorrow
