Windows 10: Fixing C: Stage 1

I updated my computer on Sunday. It restarted after the update but the log in screen would not boot up. It would not turn off so I removed the battery. After removing the battery I got the fixing C Stage 1. I let it run for 24 hours the first time but it was running the cycle fixing c stage 1 and repairing errors. After that I removed the hard drive and attached it a school computer. The school computer wanted to format it but I said no because I didn't want to lose the files. Once I said no it made the drive inaccessible. I put the drive back in the computer and it went straight to automatic diagnostic pc. I tried skipping the scan but then a get a blue screen that say it wasn't able to boot then it takes me to the repairing disk errors and fixing c stage 1 cycle. I tried turned on and off to get to the Windows Recovery to boot in safe mode but it won't allow me to do that. Is the drive gone? Is there a way for me to get my files? I really just want to get my files off of the drive.

Fixing c: stage 1: error

Hi

I have this error in my laptop( 3 years old) from today morning.

Fixing c: stage 1: 64% estimated time 9 hours

The estimated time keeps increasing. The information on online is confusing. Some say to let it run forever others to abort immediately and boot from usb. I have my important data in the hard disk. Which is the best way to save my data?? Please help.

 

“Fixing (C Stage 1...” has been processing for days

I left my computer on several days ago and after walking away from it...

I returned to it on its startup screen with the following line across the bottom (the values are the most recent but started from—at least when I finally returned to my computer—when I found it at Stage 1: 51% and total 18%):

Fixing (C Stage 1: 53% (295928 of 556800); Total: 19%; ETA: 966:12:12

I have searched a bit for what to do but have basically found that what you need to do is just be patient and wait it out until it finishes.

So I have 3 questions:

1. How long should I expect for it to take? It’s already been almost a week and the total percentage only increased by one so far.
2. Is it ok to interrupt it by turning my computer off?— because there’s no sign of it finishing anytime soon and I need to use my computer.
3. What does the “ETA” part stand for? Is it estimated time to finish, elapsed time, or something else entirely?

Thank you in advance for any help you have in answering my questions.
