help with CHKDSK
hi any help will be greatly appreciated.
have a laptop running win 7 home 32bit,on start up it automatically goes to start up repair. i have let the startup repair run for over 24 hrs and still no success.it just keeps running with a green status bar moving.i got a bit worried that it was taking so long so i cancelled and restarted.
i then decided to run chkdsk instead through start up repair.its working but seems to hang for a long time.last night went to bed around midnight and left it running but when i got up this morning it hadnt progressed at all and is hanging at 50%.it had been running for about 16hrs total.
here is what the diskchk says.
x:\windows\system32>if exist c:\applications CHKDSK c: /f
x:\windows\system32>if exist d:\applications CHKDSK d:/f
the type of the filesystem is ntfs.
volume label is windows.

thats as far as it goes and just seems to hang there for hours while the cursor sits on the next line flashing.the time taken to hit 50% was veryshort.
i understand it is correcting errors but would it usually take this long?
any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
