Stuck at "checking file system on C:"
Hey,
This is my - seemingly impassable - issue at windows start up. I restarted my computer and on the start up it notified me of a need for file system check. It says the usual "checking file system on C:" - file system is NTFS and it checks for inconsistencies. Then it gives you a 10 second countdown to the checks beginning and pressing any button will skip the test.
However...of course....however, the check never starts - the count down gets stuck on 1 second(s), but never begins the check (never being about 1-2 hours, which is for how long I left it for). I force shut down the computer after waiting and running out of patience. There is no sound like the check is commencing. so not just an issue of looking like it freezes at 1 seond, but really is checking. It should be showing you the progress report right? New to 7 here...
The next time it did the same, got stuck at 1 second, before it could even start the checking. But this time I return after about 30 min and the computer is asleep, but after I wake it up (press a button) it only wakes up to a black screen.
After waiting again, while it hangs with a black screen, I force shut it again, but this time try to skip the checking by pressing any button during the countdown....this does nothing and the countdown runs to 1 second(s) again and get stuck! Auch....
I am on an oooold laptop here currently, would like to get back on my bran new HP!
Any help really appreciated....I can't seem to be able to do anything.
