chkdsk problem

[willy]

I have XP2 and as it is running slowly, I tried to run Chkdsk which
stalled at 19% during the 4th. of the 5 operations.
I wasn't able to shut chkdsk down, tried to restart in safe mode...no
luck, stalled at the screen that lists all of the files that are loading.
I restarted using 'last known good configuration' and got it up and running.
Can anyone please help with what the problem might be??
TIA, Willy

Run Disk CleanUp in all user profiles and try Chkdsk again. If no joy
try HD Tune.

Try running HD Tune(freeware).

Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy
to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Also do a full surface
scan with HD Tune.

Hope this helps.
