Power failure during repair: Laptop not booting
Boggin:
For interest, it has taken about 3 hours for my chkdsk c: /r to complete and that is with it not having any problems.
If it has to work harder to try and repair when it does find problems, then it is going to take much longer.
amf:
On Stage 2.... Will work till I am too tired to carry on
Boggin:
Just leave the machine to get on with it - you don't have to watch it.
I've heard of a chkdsk /r taking days to complete in some instances.
amf:
End result came before the 999:00:00...
Boggin:
It hasn't completed - there are 5 stages in a chkdsk /r
As it is unable to read all of the disk then I suggest you take it into a reputable tech, but you could confirm that the HDD is damaged by running a SeaTools for DOS disk.
