Chkdsk problems - help

[bennocelt]

chkdsk is verifying usn journal - how long do i have to wait?
Unfortunately my cheap notebook wont load windows, a bit annoying and cant reboot from a disc or usb, at least not at the moment
something to do with the volume and it is used by another process that is locked and i cant change as its write protected!!!! help please

Depends on the size of the disk. Generally CHKDSK counts up to 100%, so you should have some indication of progress.

Its about 160gbytes. it finally got passed that level three, only took the whole day! Not is on 13% on stage 4, stuck on this for a long while now. Read somewhere on net it could take 3 days, really???

Seems unlikely on a 160GB disk. Perhaps it could be slowed down by damage to the disk? You might want to get your data off it asap as a precaution.
