Chkdsk Stuck

For a few days now I've been trying to run chkdsk on one of my externals because there are a lot of bad sectors and corrupt files and I need to defrag it but I can't until I run a chkdsk.

Every time I run it, it gets stuck at 59% on stage 4. Anyone know how I can deal with that so chkdsk will finish?

Code:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Bill>chkdsk d: /r
The type of the file system is NTFS.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) y
Volume dismounted.  All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.
Volume label is Tertiary.

It may never finish if there are bad sectors on the drive. Bad Sectors = bad drive = replace drive. You should copy off whatever data you need off the drive and replace it before it completely quits working and you lose everything. Fragmenting a failing drive might worsen the shape of the drive anyway.
