(SOLVED) My Laptop seems to be stuck repairing........
« on: April 03, 2016, 03:47:07 pm »
Hi,


(UPDATE) Back up and running. Just took a loooong time - I want to delete this post but do not know how)


I am running windows 10 on an ASUS touchscreen 11'5 inch laptop (My spare...) It has 1 drive that's partitioned (?) the main C: drive and the second D: drive. (Of which I do not think I had much on.) I ran Windows Repair 3.8.5 according to the instructions. When the pop-up said to reboot and I did I seem to be stuck on the "Scanning and Repairing drive "D" - It said 10% and the chasing circle is going and the light that shows the drive is doing something is lit(Constant- not flickering) I then saw it move to 25% but then it went back to 10% and it's been like that for over an hour and a half. I don't want to shut it down in case it screws something up? Am I stuck or is the program stuck? How long does it usually take to repair a 500GB drive (250gb is the D: drive)??

Any answers would be helpful. I am not touching t until I hear any replies.

Thank you.

It really depends on which action has been selected for the boot time scan: If it is to simply repair the drive (/f), then you may have an issue.  However, if the option to fix and attempt recovery of bad sectors is selected (/r), then that would explain the long wait time.  For that process to finish on my laptop, it takes well over 5 hours!  It also seems to hang indefinitely at 10% then jumps right to 100%.  My suggestion would be to wait, depending on, if you did choose, the option you chose for the boot time scan.

THANK YOU!,

It actually finished.....I appreciate your help. It did take a long time. I just wanted to check that I wasn't stuck in a loop. I can't figure out how to delete the question so I put an UPDATE at the top.

Thanks again! :artist:

I believe it says somewhere in the forum rules to put "(Solved)" without the quotes in front of your topic title when your issue is resolved.
