Default DD Recovery Help Needed

Win XP Pro on a Lenovo T500 laptop

Session3 error at blue screen on boot.
Has a Samsung Pro 256G SSD. C: and D: partitions.

Tried all Win boot methods on the SSD - no go.
Plugged and unplugged the SSD several times in case of a mechanical
problem. No go there either.

Installed original HDD and it boots and etc OK. So maybe only the SSD
is the problem.

Have a Macrium Rescue Disk made when I installed the SSD !
Put SSD back in.
Booted on CD OK. Win PE is there. All drivers are there.

Tried to do the Macrium FIX (boot record etc) all it could but that did
not work. Will Macrium FIX report problems or just mush on through all
fixes ?

Went to Win PE that Macrium installed in memory and seen as Disk X:

Opened Windows Explorer and see what looks like all SSD partitions are
there with correct sizes etc.

I do have a Macrium restore file on LAN but it is old and not sure if I
should bother,.

Win PE has ChkDisk.

Question 1:
What ChkDisk options should I run on the SSD ?

The Lenovo T500 has a built in BIOS disk check that I started to run and
for the first few parts it passed but I gave up since I am not familiar
with the Lenovo disk check.

Question 2:
If I can see m LAN can I copy SSD files to a NAS there ?
Not sure if that is possible or how that works buy would like to try
since it will diminish the full restore to the HDD.

Question 3:
Can I tell if the SSD does get "fixed" ?, Should I get the data off and
abandon it ?

I have other PCs running older and newer Samsung SSDs and no problems.

I really like the quick boot the SSD gives me.
SSD is only two years old.

As an aside, what kind of problem might the SSD be having ?


Thank you.
