Re: chkdsk hang "Gerry" <gerry[ at ]nospam.com> 12/13/2008 9:41:13 PM Ralph Hanging can be a sign of one or more bad sectors which chkdsk is dealing with. It might best wo sit it out anad allow it to finish. You could cause more damage by trying to stop the process. Try HD Tune(freeware) as you can see the SMART information relating to the drive etc. Download and run it and see what it turns up. http://www.hdtune.com/ Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Make sure you do a full surface scan with HD Tune. -- Hope this helps.

RE: chkdsk hang Kaja 12/18/2008 4:02:06 AM go to start, my computer, left click to open. On drive C right click, click properties, then tools. Now click where it says error checking and click check now. You will see a window with two check boxes labeled automatically fix system error files. CHECK THAT and check the other box. click start. Your computer will tell you that it has scheduled the check disc process the next time it restarts so restart your computer and it will perform a check disc but instead of stopping it will automatically fix bad sectors because you checked the box telling it to do that. Cool, huh. This should solve your problem. Let me know. Merry Christmas, bright Winter Solstice and a happy new year Best regards, Kaja "ralph" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hello > What does one do when the chkdsk run hangs up in the middle of the run?
