Well being a little more specific would be nice.

What kind of error did chkdsk find?

A bad sector? It couldn't complete? It couldn't start?

Run it with the /f parameter then.

Start -> type 'cmd' (without quotes) -> right click -> run as admin -> in the console window that pops up type:
chkdsk C: /f /r
Press Enter and it will say it cannot lock the current drive and to run on next reboot. Type Y and hit Enter -> Reboot your computer and let it run through the check (it may take some time, depending on how big your HDD is).

No problems found

Says failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50

So no problem I'm guessing then, lol.

The "failed to transfer" message is fine.

I assume you're running chkdsk from recovery/repair rather than from within Windows. Just means it was unable to copy the logfile to Event Log.

Well I forgot to add that it gets stuck at the windows screen

So you're having issues booting into Windows, not just with chkdsk?

You need to give us more details so we can help you if that's what you're after.

Yeah sorry... It will only work through recovery....
