Problem is that, that "scanning and repairing drive ( c : )" stuck at 10% completed...
Today I installed latest TuneUp utilities program, and it recomended me to use ' disk doctor' , after that, Ive restarted laptop as it asked, and now all i see is HP logo and that line, where it says ' S. and R. drive C : 10% completed ..
It been like that for a hour or so...
I had did disk scan n repair month ago as well, but then everything worked without any problems. Then (month ago) and now, while this scan and repair is working, I hear some kind of sounds coming out from my laptop. Like clunking,very quiet beepinv or clicking something like that( never heard these sounds, while i boot and use my laptop normaly).
Ive red in this forum about same situation, but didnt got correct answer.
Is there anyway to cancel this scan? I tried holding power button and restarting like that- on boot it goes on s and r. again, and stucks at 10% ..
If no, how long it will take to scan and fix c disk, if it has 1TB in in?
i recently got a new laptop "asus vivobook" that came preloaded with windows 8.
The laptop comes with a hybrid 24 GB ssd (8GB of those are for the system files,windows 8 is installed on,the remaining are in a 2nd partition for recovery) i deleted the recovery partition and made a recovery on an 8 GB usb drive,because im dual booting a different linux os alongside windows.
I used rEFInd boot manager to boot the 2 operating systems,everything boot and works fine.
However,since the dual booting started i noticed that the windows 8 loading time has became a bit slower,when i choose to sart windows 8 the asus logo appears and under it this message
"Scanning and repairing volume (?Volume{...large hex identifier..}): 100% Complete"
it stays for 2,3 seconds and then windows 8 start,i ran a chkdsk for the c drive,but that didnt solve the problem.
I wanted to do a system restore on my Toshiba laptop but when I tried Windows just restarted, gave me error 0x81000204 and told me I should run chkdsk /R. I tried to run chkdsk and everything was going fine and working at a normal speed until it got to 10%, at which point it got stuck and has been at 10% for over two hours. The circle on screen is still spinning so I know my laptop hasn't frozen or anything. I don't really want to have to cancel the disk check because I want to be able to do my system restore, so I was wondering if there's any way to fix this without cancelling, restarting etc. Or if I have to cancel the disk check, how can I do a system restore without doing another disk check and getting stuck again?

Laptop model: toshiba satellite l70d-a
Age: 3 months old
Problem: when loading laptop Scanning and Repairing drive C stuck at 100%. I cannot do anything else than removing the battery. Started suddenly. I have tried to see if there were hd problems but found nothing.
I have opened the registry and (following the suggestion from the thread above I have looked at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager) the reg key is:
autocheck autochk *
And also, since we are talking about the registry, if anything goes wrong how do I reload the registry backup I have just made?
I downloaded and installed Windows 8 on October 26th. So far, great experience however... the last couple of days when starting my new Dell Inspiron 5720 it is running a "Scanning and Repairing (C) and is getting stuck at 27% (waited over 2 hours) so I hold down the power button and it restarts as normal. Only seems to start the check on every 2nd or 3rd startup. I have googled and read many articles and have since error checked my C: drive through properties with no errors being reported.
I guess my question is what would cause this to all of a sudden start and why and how do I stop it. It is very frustrating . I have completed virus scans, defrag, error checking, etc.
The Dell laptop is new but came with Windows 7 in early October. It is 8GB RAM with a 1TB drive running Intel 7.
I recently went to command prompt on my main pc and did : chkdsk /f /r on my main computer.
It said "the current thing is in use, would you like to run check disk on startup? (Y/N) I put Y, then restarted my computer. Then it was stuck on 27% for about an hour, so I got worried and restarted my computer about two or three more times. it says "scanning and repairing drive (C 27% complete)" and none of the times it would load regular windows so I decided to just stick with it.
It's been over 3 hours, and it's still stuck on 27%. How can I disable it or how long will it take?

Also I tried f8 and it just brings me back to system restore, and when I tried that it just gave me a black screen, so i'm just letting my PC sit and do the C: repair
I'm having troubles with a disk check.
Firstly, I'd like to mention that I've had this PC for a while... I've even taken the whole thing apart and swapped out all of the components (slowly upgraded over time). It's actually at the stage where I've been left with all the old parts as spares, and put everything back together, almost exactly as it was when I bought it. All in all, the initial build is probably 2 or 3 years old now (for the most part, the specs can be found here).
After formatting the hard drive, putting things together back with the old build, and booting up Windows 8 onto it as a gift for my dad, most things were working fine, but one exe file which I copied across wasn't running (at least one which I noticed). I checked up the error code, found people with similar problems, and heard it could just be that the file was corrupted.
So, to get to the main point... I figured it wouldn't hurt to run a disk check, in case there were any other errors or problems. I knew it would take a while, so I opened command prompt, and typed in "chkdsk C: /r", before hitting enter, letting it schedule the disk check for next startup, rebooting the PC, and then leaving it to do its thing. It's been running probably for about 4 or so hours now, and for most of that time it's been at 27% on "Scanning and repairing drive (C:)". Normally I'd just give in and force shut down at this point, but I'm wondering... what's the best course of action if it doesn't get anywhere with this?
I'd really prefer not to force shut down, in case it causes any errors... I mean to say the least it's taken some effort and persistence to get the old build up and running again.
I have a problem when booting the widows. It struck while Scanning and Repairing Drive, and I wonder if you have any solution to bypass that.
This problem camp up when i tried to test chkdsk /f /r to restart and check drive.
I have been having trouble with my laptop lately. I was trying to install a new driver for my graphics card when my computer suddenly rebooted, I was forced to refresh Windows 8, then an even bigger problem happened, windows kept thinking that it was not registered but when i go to system from the control panel it says it is registered and gives me the product code, so I read somewhere that doing the chkdsk scan will fix this so i did it, first it was stuck 27% for about 4 hours then it is currently stuck at 100%, its been at 100%for about 13 hours now. I do not know what to do, afraid to force restart, might cause errors.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy windows 8 HP laptop keeps getting scanning and repairing drive D 100% complete and just stays there and nothing happens. And sometimes it goes on and it just becomes a black screen... My laptop was shut down for a few weeks and this happened and I need it again now... I got a new laptop which is why it stayed off but now i need it again. What should I do? I don't care if everything on it gets erased. I actually prefer to format it. Moreover, my f keys dont work nor does my escape button.

It has been like that for a couple of hours.
How long I should leave it running or perhaps I should do a fresh reinstall of Windows, I have the Microsoft DVDs?
I have a Samsung Ativ Book 4 (model number: np470r5e-k01ub). When I turned on my laptop today, I was prompted the message "scanning and repairing drive c". This has been going on for longer than I expected (about 6 hours and is stuck at 9%) and I am starting to get worried that something is seriously wrong. I have tried rebooting into safe mode but my keyboard isn't working. I have no way (that I know of) to restore to factory settings seeing as how my keyboard isn't working.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, long story short I had some YouTube uploading troubles, I asked some guy about it and he said its possibly caused by a virus, so I looked at my antivirus and it said there was an error with my C drive and I needed to restart to repair it, so I did and the repair process got stuck at 27% for about half an hour, I've tried everything and I've looked everywhere, but I got nothing, my laptop now can't do anything, if I try to skip the repairing process it just restarts it again so I can't get anywhere with it, it's a new computer

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have this problem where it takes approximately 5 minutes to boot up my Lenovo Y500 (Windows 8, 64-bit) laptop. I had this laptop for almost an year. It was fine in the beginning, took around 20 seconds to boot. However, over time when I restart my computer because of the windows update or defraging, I noticed that it took extremely long to boot, like 5 minutes. It would be stuck on the Lenovo logo with the spinning circle for 5 minutes.
After that there is no problem getting to my desktop. I assumed my HDD (1 terabyte) had a problem. I ran all different programs to diagnose the HDD but it all said it was in "OK" status. So, I did the chkdsk on the CMD and it prompted me that it'll start when I restart my laptop. So I did and now it's stuck on scanning and repairing drive (C: 27% complete for almost 12 hours.
I am not sure how long I have to wait and if it's going to be 27% forever. I have approximately 250 GB / 1 TB on my HDD. I tried doing recovery but it would not work either. If I tried booting through safe mode, it would continue to do the same thing, Scanning and repairing drive (C 27% complete and stuck there. So finally, I tried going for the recovery USB boot drive since I cannot use the recovery built-in the laptop nor have the recovery disc.
However, I was looking in Google how to make a recovery USB for windows 8 (64-bit) but it all looked like you have to be in Windows 8 in order to make a recovery USB drive, but I am stuck on the Lenovo logo screen. Is there an alternative solution to this? Is there a downloadable recovery drive so I can make it boot to the USB?
I'm running Windows 8. 3 days ago my computer crashed coming up with a message that it needed to restart. It then came up with a message "Repairing disk errors. This may take over an hour", and continued to display that message for 3 days straight. Now it has gone to a Boot Menu. The menu displays two tabs Boot Menu/App Menu, with the options under Boot Menu
1. Windows Boot Manager
2. SATA HDD: Hitachi
I selected Windows boot manager, and the screen went black for a few seconds then went back to the same menu. What has happened and how do I get back to Windows??
Asus Vivobook. It was running fine last night, but today it was a bit slow to respond. I eventually restarted it and it told me I have disk problems. Now I'm stuck on a black screen with the Asus logo that reads "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete."
It's been this way for multiple hours now. I'm going to leave it overnight and hope it repairs, but, if it doesn't, is there anyway to recover my files? I have some important stuff backed up online, but I haven't backed up in a bit over a month and I don't want to lose my files. Most forums tell me to reinstall Windows 8? Would that make me lose my files, though, and how can I do that if I can't get past this error page?
Since a couple of weeks, Windows has started scanning my disk on every boot. It does 1%, 2%, then sits for a while before it jumps to 9%. Then it works itself up to 43%, where it sits for a long while before jumping to 100%. Every time. I'm not having any problems with the system, and I'm not missing any files as far as I know. Why is it doing this and how can I get rid of it?

I recently upgraded my laptop, an HP g6-1b60us from Win 7 to Win 8Pro. All works fine, except when the Laptop wakes up from sleep. It has to reboot. Knowing that the HP POwer Manager was not compatible, I had uninstalled it. That still didn't resolve the problem. I finally ran a power efficiency diagnostics report. It's 6pages long, but in the end, different usb items prevent the laptop from entering sleep/suspend state. I only recognize one of them.

After it's frozen you can hear the HDD crackling a little, it's like backing up. Don't a HDD scan and check everything seem to be OK. I did look through the log, I noticed a lot of multiple triggers. Don't know what that means.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI found a registry trick that is supposed to add an option to "delete on reboot" when you right click a file. To allow you to schedule files to be deleted when the computer restarts (incase they are currently in use and cant be). The registry edit looks like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellDelete on rebootcommand]@="CMD /E:OFF /C REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentversionRunOnce /v "Del %1 OnNextReboot" /d ^"cmd.exe /c DEL /F /Q "%1"" /f""

I do a shutdown from the Windows Logon screen which I believe is a full power off rather than a hybrid shutdown:
(The process C:WINDOWSsystem32winlogon.exe (XXXXX) has initiated the power off of computer XXXX on behalf of user NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found
Reason Code: 0x500ff Shut-down Type: power off)
However when I restart the computer it then goes into a black screen with a pointer and never completes reboot.
The only way to fix this is to reboot again which I am guessing is using the "Hybrid Boot" profile:
"The last shutdown's success status was false. The last boot's success status was true."
This did not occur in Windows 8.
How to diagnose the shutdown culprit?
