scheduled chkdsk hangs after completion
I have a work issued laptop that has a "super user account" for support and
my account called admin (with reduced rights). My PC was acting a bit flaky so I scheduled a chkdsk and rebooted. All went well and no issues were found. The disk was pronounced clean and some other verbiage followed by .... (four dots). That is as far as it went. hmmmm.... ok, so I tried it again....same result. Knowing the support user ID and password I tried to boot into safemode but the PC hung and "sounded" like it was performing the same chkdsk in the background but no info was displayed. After about 4 hours the system rebooted and tried to boot into safemode(?) but hung again at the four dots after proclaiming my system drive as clean. I then tried to boot off of a windows XP Pro CD but it would blue screen after loading several drivers. I have a Linux live CD with very limited tools on it and I know there is data still on the drive and I cannot afford to loose it. Suggestions? |
