O.P. RE: CHKDSK startup problem
Thanks for your post, I've been away so wasn't able to reply straight away.

I'm just doing an error check at the moment.

I think I should of left the chkdsk, as it can take a very long time as a gathered from the link you provided (thanks):

quote:
If you use chkdsk /f on a very large disk (for example, 70 gigabytes) or a disk with a very large number of files (for example, millions of files), chkdsk might take a long time (for example, over several days) to complete. The computer is not available during this time because chkdsk does not relinquish control until it is finished.


So I'll wait and see what the error checking does, then I'll do the chkdsk again and just leave it until it (hopefully) does something, then I'll post the results.

If all else fails, I'll try a defragmentation.

Thanks again. :)

P.S. No your not wrong :tongue:
But the "Verify now" button is actually "Check now" on English language Windows :happy:


Edit: The Error checking (which I understand is the same as chkdsk) didn't work:

Doing a chkdsk using the command line gives me this:

So when I restart I'm guessing it's going to go back to how it was, stopping at stage 2, but I'll leave it all night if I have to...

Edit: Yeah the problem was I just didn't wait long enough :tongue: Thanks for your help.
