  1. Disk repair taking hours


    Computer choked up and after reboot started repair specifically disk repair. It has been five hours already. It is a 1tb drive about 50% full. The drive was “hunting” while it was booting. I can hear the head moving as it is doing this repair. Another partition with Slackware Linux boots fine and sees the windows partition and files just fine. Using LILO boot loader. But does windows have a boot loader that lilo hands off to? Is it safe to kill power because the repair won’t cancel.

    :)

    "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." loop for hours

    • Hey Dave! I wish I could tell where it is in the process. All
      I see is a Lenovo logo screen
    • with circling dots

    • transitioning between these three messages:

    • 1) "Preparing Automatic Repair"

      2) "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete."

    • 3) "Diagnosing your PC"


    • It continuous in this cycle over and over with the screen turning black for a second before starting the loop
      again.

    "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." loop for hours

    My Lenovo G50 is stuck in a "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." loop since I turned it on several hours ago. What are my options to correct this issue (in layman's terms please)? Thanks!
