Chkdsk Hanging

[Fitztex32]

Hi, i will say upfront that i dont' know much about computers but do know how to defrag, scandisk, delete temp files.

Ok, my problem here is that i got a blue screen of death said something about bios so i restarted puter and hit F10 key to go to system restore on my HP winxp computer. i downloaded all the hotfixes or windows updates including sp2. Everything was working fine until i went to scandisk and checked both fix errors and bad sectors. Now it is on CHKDSK IS VERIFYING FILE DATA (4 OF 5) 58% COMPLETED and has said that since last night at 8:03pm and today it is at the same saying but time is 12:19pm. What do i do?

I read that thread and everything I needed to know was found within...
And since you responded within 10 minutes of my posting that link...
I seriously doubt you bothered to read the thread...

I don't think you understand what my problem is!!!! I do not need help on the disk cleanup! I am talking about needing help you know when you go right click on your my computer icon open then right click on c: drive then to properties then tools then error checking then i clicked both fix file system errors and scan for and attempt to recover bad sectors. I restarted computer and it did go to CHKDSK but only to 4 out of 5 at 58% and stayed there all night and all day. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU NEED TO READ SOMEONE'S POST BETTER! MY QUESTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DISK CLEAN UP!
