Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - CHKDSK gets stuck on step 2 no matter what.

paulabear · 02-20-2008, 10:32 PM

It is always stuck at 0% and NEVER moves. I have defragmented my drive, but I only had 209 fragmented files.

I've tried both running CHKDSK from the cmd line and letting it run at startup. Both seem to fail, elusively.

Is there anything I can clean up, fix, etc. so DSKCHK doesn't think I need to run it?

The first step runs VERY smoothly. So my files are fine. What can I do for indexes?

Anyone with help, please help me as soon as you can. I'm just about ready to throw this thing out the window.

Additional info:
It wants to always scan my C: drive. (NTFS)
It's a 103 GB drive with only 67GB occupied.

Once again, any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
