Scan Interrupted, Can No Longer Boot to Visible Logon Screen
Julian:
What users pop up when you type net users
lmitchell:
It's 6:30PM EST and chkdsk has been running for about 1.5 - 2 hrs. Stage 4, Verifying File Data, has been running about an hour and is at 82percent, having started at 80percent. Judging by past experience it will be done between 10 PM - 2AM. There are about 3.3 million files to process and its currently at about 210 thousand.
No problems reported in the first three stages of the scan, just the usual processing. If it'll save time I can look up results of the last chkdsk, done Monday or so, if told where to find the file.
Julian:
If the chkdsk displays anything but 0kb in bad sectors the hdd is dying because if windows sees it then yeah its dying...
lmitchell:
Right now I'm seeing nothing about bad sectors. "CHKDSK is verifying file data (stage 4 of 5), xx percent completed." If a bad sector result was supposed to appear in the previous sections' results I,m clear so far, otherwise the other details don't appear until completion, correct?
I'm saying there were "bad" sectors but it could have been something else, I can't remember the terminology but something not ordinary.
As far as users, I've opened a second cmd window and am being denied access to D: because the scan is running. X: shows Administrator, Guest and the new account I created. However, when logging in to the Recovery environment (remember, the only place I can see the logon), Administrator, Guest, HomeGroup and my regular (preexisting) account all show up in the dropdown. There are others (User, Default, and some system-created .NET related ones) that don,t show up anywhere except in the "Users" folder.
Boggin:
You won't be able to do this while chkdsk is running but for info - from the cmd prompt in the recovery environment enter eventvwr - that should take you to the Event Viewer.
Expand Windows Logs - click on the name Application/Action/Find then in the Find box type chkdsk or wininit and press enter.
Cancel the Find box and read the report in the scrollable window.
This will be academic though as by the time you will have access to the cmd prompt, the current chkdsk will have completed.
