Given the amount of corruption the read-only chkdsk found, I think you should run the chkdsk /r first.
With that amount of corruption, your HDD could be failing.
Have you created a system image yet ?
Do that first before performing a chkdsk /r
This is how to create the Win 8.1 install media - https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-uk/sln299314/how-to-create-windows-installation-media-for-windows-8-1-and-windows-10-using-the-media-creation-tool?lang=en

We were unable to run Tweaking Windows Repair Tool.The software did not go into safe mode.We tried running it in safe mode and again it failed.The system does not boot in safe mode now.We can only work at the Command prompt.
We received a farbar log from the command prompt. Listed some corrupt files. We found the files, but we couldn't copy them because they are zero bytes. We had the Tweaking Windows Repair Tool backup file. We want to backup from this file. I first asked the user to create Win 8.1 install media.
Which should be our operation priority? 8.1 upload media or tweaking.com-regbackup file?
Even if the regbackup file works, I think only safe mode can be turned on.
Best regards.
