XCopy does not work to image windows, as it does not copy hidden
files. Does the external drive crash your pc once the pc is booted or
do u try to boot the pc w/the drive attached? Please try attaching the
drive only after the pc is booted & your desktop icons appear.
The syntax for the chkdsk command is chkdsk /f /r (that's the forward
slash, i.e. the ? unshifted). Since u appear to be familiar w/at least
some aspects of the command line, u likely know that, but just a
friendly reminder.
If the computer shop won't help, or u just don't trust 'em, contact me off list.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
might even be the culprit
