If your Computer boots, Then its clear that your system hard disk is in bootable condition, Which means you can survive. Checkdisk is a tool which is used to check and repair the storage device for problems and glitches. So Try booting by removing all the external devices like USB drives,.. and let the check disk complete the process. All the best.
