Disc check taking more than 24 hours and still going.

Hi, I've been running a disk check for what has been now more than 24 hours.

He is still only 1% (phase 1) and its currently at 85257 552960. He treats literally 1 file every minute or so.

Should it take this long?

If not, what should I do next?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wait longer to see if it progresses.  If it won't, you must consider the possibility that the hard drive itself is failing or has failed.

If you can get it booted up, download and run the hard drive test software of the editor of the website on your hard drive.  There at least 3 tests that it runs.  If it passes all the tests, your drive is quite likely ok and your problem is corruption on the hard disk.  If Chkdsk will not work until the end, it is probably wise to re - install Win7.

If the drive fails, you must replace it and reinstall.

If you want to re - install, consider replacing the disk if it is old (like 5 years or more) and small capacity.  Buy a bigger, and if its 7200 RPM, 5400.  7200 will give you a significant boost in performance.
