Okay well I am going to try to include as much infomation whilst still keeping this short. I am not too sure how to add, so I will just say everything.
So about 2 years ago I was given a refurbished HP ProBook to use for school, and it was working for most of my needs. So after about a year, the proformace was slowing down and I decided to put replace the old 500GB HHD with a 480GB Crucial SDD. At this point I used the HHD as an external drive, which worked fine. Then about a week ago I needed the SSD back so I swaped the two again; having the HHD in the laptop and the SSD outside. Using a friends Windows 10 bootable drive I got the HHD back into gear and the laptop back running, although at its slower orginal state.
And about 3 days after the laptop would boot, and the BSOD with the error “Unmountable boot volume.” Quickly searching on the web I followed this tutorial stating that I should run “chkdsk /r c:” command in the terminal in the repair your computer section. However its been about 3 days of the laptop continuously running. Scrolling back through the terminal its done some “deleted corrupt attribute entry”, it “deleted orphan file” and it “deleted index entry.” And currently its on:
Progress: 250795 of 310440 done; Stage: 80%; total: 0%; ETA: 999:00:00
After doing some research I found that Chkdsk can take a long time but that was one large 2TB drives, not my 500GB with proabbly only 100GB or less full. I also wouldve stopped the process but apprently that can further damge the hard drive. And I want the files that are on the drive at the moment, so doing a fresh install would be less than ideal.
TL;DR: Chkdsk is taking 3 days, and I want the files that are on the hard drive.
Thanks in advance.
