Shane:
File permissions, which is repair #2, are stored on the file system, so if you are running the repair in safe mode so no 3rd party program is messing with it, then when it runs that slow either the drive has bad sectors, is really slow and dying, or there is some corruption in the file system. When you run chkdsk it will repair the file system, if there are bad sectors you need to replace the drive.

Once chkdsk is ran and hopfully the files system is fixed see how the repair does then :-)

I've been unable to work on this pc but back to it today.  I've run chkdsk, all good.  I think I've accidentally been killing process #2 - the Program dialog box is up, and then a grey dialog box showing updates has been popping up - It says output to this window has been stopped - but it seems to slowly, so slowly, be processing files.  I was closing that out - presuming the program would continue to run behind it.  I'm guessing that is not the case, so this time, I am leaving it up and running all the way through.

I've tried so many fixes in the meantime - Windows Update Agent, etc - because so many services will not start or are not present.  All having no impact.  I can't update Windows, it shows that it's never been updated - but I can see that it's SP1 and I see the SP in the list of previous updates! 

This little PC is worth so little, I really should just pull all the data to my WD external, and trash it.  But I can't stand knowing there something wrong like this and not fix it!!!

I will update again once this current run of WR finalizes.

Boggin:
Go back to my Reply #4 and run those antimalware scans then use the other links to repair/reinstall the services and then run WR.

larkinbray:
Done!!!  Boggin, your steps worked.  Changing subject and making donation!  WR is still taking hours, however, all I had issues with after the ESET fix was BITS and I found a .bat file to run which installed it in services!    Now I can FINALLY update this puppy!  Thank you guys SO MUCH!!!!

Boggin:
Did you run a chkdsk /f prior to WR as much to check for bad sectors as to repair any file corruption ?

WR shouldn't be taking hours unless it is coming up against corruption or bad blocks.
