Problems with CHKDSK - External Drive
Hi, (Sorry if this is wrong Forum - can't seem to find suitable one :-()
I have an empty 120GB SATA Hard Drive that showed some problems when checking with Chrystaldisc (CAUTION). I am running it as as external on a USB.
I reformatted it, then in CHKDSK ran:
'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors'.
I started that 16 hours ago and the bar scale only looks about 15% completed. (about 1,500,000 clusters).
I have an i7 2600 with lots of ram.
Can anyone tell me if this rate of progress is normal and, if not, any advice?
Thank you
