Vista - CHKDSK Freeze

gjcowley · 06-29-2008

When I booted up today, CHKDSK began running, but it freezes every time it gets to 6%. I have shut down and unplugged and restarted several times, but it always freezes there. I can't do anything once that happens, except turn it off.

I have tried (as the screen directs) to cancel the check by "hitting any key" but nothing happens, no mater which keey or how many of them I hit.

I even left the computer for two hours at 6%, hoping it was just checking slow. But after two hours, it's still at 6%.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and a fairly new HP laptop - never had this problem before this morning.

Is there any way to get around this freeze?

Thanks for any help!
