Windows 10: Stuck Disk Checking

I have a laptop that has worked fine for many years. Yesterday I unplugged my secondary hard disk without windows, just data. I used a usb adapter to connect it to my other laptop, which worked fine. Upon reinserting it into my first laptop, and booting, it tells me that the disk is checking and scanning. Now I get a message that says that ETA is 999 hours and is "Stage 1: 0% 90 out of 390960" How can I speed this up or change it? IT is driving me crazy as I've got to deliver this laptop soon.


Thanks in advance

Checking Disk Consistency

Ok i did as viper suggested, but it stops checking at stage 3. It is still saying the drive is dirty, and still needs to be checked. I did a defrag and a disk cleanup, and suggestions?

 

Disk Check Issue?

I'm having the Disk Check issue again. However, this time, I can't use Startup Repair to fix it. Can you address this?

Hi Jack,

I suggest you to perform a Startup repair by following the steps below and check if it helps.

• In the Lock screen, press/hold the shift key and click on power icon>restart.
• Click on Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Repair and follow the prompts to start the Startup Repair.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
