There is some back story but I'll skip that for now. I thought my hd was failing so I cloned (clonezilla) the old drive (mechanical) to a new SSD. I had various issues but I finally got it to boot Windows. I had resized the C: drive with Gparted, but when I booted into windows it still showed the old size. Ok so I tried to expand the drive in windows disk management. Went through the wizard and then I got an error message about c: being corrupted. However the graphic of the drive layout showed the new size. So I tried to reboot windows again and now I can't get back into it. Automatic repair keeps failing. This is windows 10 enterprise btw. Of course any help would be appreciated but I do have a couple of specific questions

1. Isn't there a way to repair windows if you have a copy on a USB drive? If so how?
2. How can I run chkdsk from recovery? I tried to go to command prompt but I couldn't figure out what drive letter 'C' is.
 
Boot from the USB and instead of picking setup, choose repair.

I never have luck copying drives, I always make an image of the drive, then put that on the new one
