    Chkdsk is taking too long


    My harddisk was taking too long to respond and copy stuff. So I formatted the hard drive using cmd prompt and it went successful but then I am running the chkdsk E: /f /r /x E: is the external harddrive. Now its at stage 5 and have about 24 crore cluster to read and it is showing me that its going to take about a month to fully read it. What should do in this situation ?

    :)

    How long should CHKDSK /R take?

    i'd suggest grabbing a few beers and a movie. it could take several hours.

    CHKDSK Taking Too Long

    Your proposed solution makes no sense. A fan typically makes noise when it has excessive dust and dirt that needs to be cleaned out.The CHKDSK utility checks for logical errors on the hard disk.

    Given the typical (large) size of modern hard drives, it's possible that the CHKDSK command could take hours to complete.

    CHKDSK Taking Too Long

    Hi,

    If you are patient enough, Chkdsk could eventually finish the scan and possibly repair some errors on your drive's file system.

    Please visit this link, although it's an old thread you might still find it informative.

    Regards.
