system file checker

three quaters of the way through scandisk (with the scanning of bad sectors option checked) been 5ish hours since l started but its not thrown off any problems yet.

tbh l think it was a file system problem caused my original issues partitioning the drive, the reason lve came to this conclusion is 1) windows isnt telling me l need to scan the drive any more and 2) l could actually finish running scandisk without it becoming unresponsive and 3) partition wizard picked nothing up on its scans, it picked up quite a few errors when it originally checked.

Sounds good.

while its not showing the scan disk prompt any more when plugged in it stopped near virtually near the end of the bad sector scan.. left it there for a good 30mins but didnt move, maybe the drive does have an issue :/
