Hey, Earlier today when I got my new 1060 I wanted to do a full wipe on my Hdd's with the windows feature so it got to 30ish % then said it failed. Tried it 2 more times and it failed then when I tried to boot it normally  I got this message.

To skip disk checking, press any key within 7sec and then it will scan and repair the hdd where my os is, so I waited 5-8hours and it was still at 1%.  I can use my pc somewhat normal. things just takes a lot of time to start open close etc.  
IT happend after I changed the GPU but I didn't even touch the HDD and waitet till the fans were not moving until I moved the pc.

 

Also I can't find the product key and those thing anymore since It was a upgrade from win 8.1 so I can't boot it from USB.

You can boot it from usb. As for the product key You don't need it. You can use your Microsoft login info to activate Windows and as long as it's the same motherboard it should activate automatically. I have done full wipes with fresh installs on multiple machines without the need for the product key.

Yes. It can automatically activate without the need of your product key. Also if you have your Microsoft account login it will activate that way as well. 

 

Just use the usb boot and follow the prompts.
