Startup repair running for 9+ hours after bsod
Hi,
First Im on my phone and don't have PC access so please excuse my post inadequacies.
My PC bsod today and hung at windows splash screen. Bsod was probably atapi.sys but was definitely something disk related and it wouldn't start the memory dump.
Next boot attempt brought up startup repair and it has been on repairing disk errors for almost all the 9 hours. I thought it switched to a different phase at one point but could be wrong. Haven't noticed it rebooting but could be wrong. I'm tempted to stop it but don't want to loose progress or cause additional problems so I'm here asking if cancellation could cause that. Need it back asap for work.
Computer has multiple drives so wondering if it could be trying to repair one of them. Os dive is a mushkin chromos 240gb ssd so I wouldn't think it should take so long. Largest drive I have is 5tb so I'm wondering if they are being scanned. I also have a drive with vista from an old computer thown in but it's not dual boot and don't think bios is even set to be able to boot from it but still wondering since it is taking so long.
If it won't loose progress or especially not cause damage I'm thinking need to cancel and disconnect the othe other drives.
Hope to get a reply before sleep so it can be working overnight.
Thanks
