Windows does not boot in normal or safe mode, stuck at some driver - run chkdsk

Most of the time is file system integrity problem (system file/driver) caused by a forced shutdown either by losing power or forceful shut down by the power button.
You get more chances to get this if you close it while it was doing updates.
It can also be cause by a bad sector on one of the mentions files, or virus alteration of files.


To fix-it you have to run a chkdisk.
Boot from a hiren's boot cd and select chkdisk, after restart and it will boot to windows normally.

If that did't work you can try to check if you find a 0 bytes file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers, usually is random letters, numers file.
