It been working on this same Record for about eight hours, should I cancel it?
Is there another Utility that I could use instead?

Windows-7 Pro will not let go.
Task Manager shows no Applications running.
It's been hours since I first tried.
Any ideas on how to get Windows-7 Pro to let go?
From elevated CMD
taskkill.exe /F /FI "status eq NOT RESPONDING"
I would then try run chkdsk again if it does the same thing and hangs then i would try doing on next boot chkdsk by doing in elevated consolechkdsk /x /f /rand then rebooting.
If it keeps hanging then you would need to look further into why with further tests. Windows 7 can be pretty intermittent tho it was always like this.
Thank you!
Question, how do I aim it at the Drive in question - Drive H ?
Yes, I was able to figure it out and started CHKDSK processing Drive H:
Now some startling EYE CANDY of how CHKDSK is using my PC's resources:
I have never noticed any program using MEMORY like that?
If it can and it speeds things up, so be it!
What's your opinion?

I despaired after 1/2 hour of waiting on CHKDSK to FIX a 500GB 7200RPM Drive.
If it couldn't show any progress or complete the job, I have a BIG problem.
I did suspect the Docking Station, so I tried a different Brand, same results.
Next, I'm going to try a Clone. This might eliminate a Hardware Problem by moving a Software Problem to a different Physical Device.
Yes, I'm grasping at straws, but I have no other alternatives in mind.
Might any Forum Member have another approach?

No idea tbh, that image does not tell anything except your 16gb of memory is being saturated. You would have to look in the process tab.
In the Process Tab, what should I be looking for?
Remember, I am a Novice and can look at the Problem but not recognize it.
