Vista - Vista chkdsk wont skip

I've tried everything and I'm about to format and reinstall vista if I can't
get any help.

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64. My computer boots up fine gets to
the windows splash screen then does chkdsk and freezes after checking drive
C:. Restarting causes it to get to the Windows splash screen again and run
chkdsk and freeze after checking C:. I cannot get out of this loop as my
keyboard stops working at the Windows splash screen. Even using a PS2
keyboard has the same result. I have tried the following:

Going into the vista repair setup thing running command prompt and typing
chkntfs /x c: d: e: and then restarting. it still runs chkdsk it still
freezes and I still cannot skip chkdsk.

I sheduled these myself but did not expect them to freeze. I cannot stop
them from checking and every time I let it run through it freezes. Can
someone please help.

try running scandisk from safe mode.

And you are.

so what brings you to the forums, then? you obviously arent here to try to help anybody.

Its not a failing drive as (if you read all of my post) I scheduled the
chkdsk. All of the drives finish scanning but when it gets to reboot time it
freezes.

There is something called sfc /scannow which can be done from a command
prompt but it just checks Windows files.
