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.
