CHKDISK Halting at 28% During Startup
Boggin:
Sorry - I just meant the cross in the top right corner to close the command window - it usually turns to red when you place your cursor on it.
That looks like it is doing a proper chkdsk at least with a /f parameter if you were prompted to enter y for it to run on the next reboot.
Steel430:
Ok, should I just be sitting tight then till this is done or is there anything else I can do if it's still at 28% tomorrow?
Boggin:
Leave it running for now, but what did you enter for the chkdsk to run on the next boot ?
Steel430:
I don't remember other than the program prompting to restart and going into Safe Mode while doing a repair for the issues it found.
EDIT: Apparently patience is indeed a virtue. Just checked my laptop and the log on screen was on. After I logged in, it started in Safe Mode with no issues and and I was able to restart and got it out of Safe Mode.
Again, thanks for your patience!
Boggin:
Just to ensure everything is okay, open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter chkdsk /r
You will be prompted to enter y for it to run on the next restart.
Enter shutdown /r /t 00 then let it do its thing after the reboot then follow the steps in my earlier post for how to read the log in Event Viewer.
Hopefully it will report no further action and 0 KB in bad sectors.
Now - did you have a problem that required running Windows Repair or was it just out of curiosity ?
