chkdsk stuck at 0 percent completed

[Guest didds]

running chkdsk on xp media (fujitsu-siemens laptop) - nees to run at

reboot etc ... selected fix errors etc

 

Restart laptop and chkdsk starts... verifiying files (stage 1 of 5)

completes easily, but stage 2 (verifying indexes) is stuck at 0%

completed... nothing appears to be ahppening at all.

 

Thoughts?

 

Is it just this hard drive on the way out?

probably need to

borrow a windows

cd and boot with

it.

 

then log into the

recovery console

in order to access

the disk.

 

then at the disk

prompt you can

run the chkdsk.

 

i would also run

a fixboot too, since

it may have crashed

trying to initialize

the other chkdsk.

 

you might want

to double check

the homesite for

your laptop and

see if they have

any built in techniques

to launch the recovery

console. if not,

then use someone's

cd - any winxp cd.

 

keep in mind that

chkdsk should be

run regularly to ensure

that the master file

table reconciles with

the file system.

 

if you decided to run

chkdsk initially because

you encountered some

errors or issues, then

it may be due to the mft

and files created with a

corrupted mft may also

be corrupted.

 

but for the most part

if the corrupted file

system occurred because

of a bad file, then it will

be the only casualty.

In xp,go to run,type:cmd In cmd type:CHKDSK C: See if it completes the

chk,its only "read only" & no repairs are done.If it completes,type:CHKDSK

C: /F

Agree to restart,type:EXIT Restart pc.If it failed,install xp cd,exit the

menu page,

in cmd type:Sfc /Scannow When its thru,remove cd,type:CHKDSK C: /F See

if it works on restart.
