CHKDSK hangs

I was trying to make a full backup with Norton Ghost but halfway the computer hangs (same result with Acronis..).
I then used chksk /F /R :computer hangs in the fix file systems step. But: CHKDSK /F and chkdsk /R work fine (no errors..) where /R implies /F ??
SFC did not give any errors and defrag works as well.
What is wrong?
I need to backup the computer!!
Please advise

Re: CHKDSK hangs

Later I got a message MFT bitmap incorrect.
So I did a hard format and re-installed Vista. Now OK
