    Check Disk doesn't complete Vista32


    Vista 32 bit Home Basic.
    Ran chkdsk ( at startup, this and everytime) and it did not complete after many hours. Stuck at 85% in the 5th part 'verifying free space'
    Forced stop.
    Did some reading and ran chkdsk again, this time stopped at 83%.
    Forced stop.
    Ran HDD utilities to test HD , 3 different ones, all passed the HDD no bad sectors showing.
    Ran chkdsk for 40 hrs, stuck at 81%.
    Forced stop.
    Any help would be appreciated.
