It gives me 5 seconds to hit any key to cancel but it wont actually cancel when you hit buttons. I've got four drives in there and there all terabyte n higher. I disconnected all but the main drive to let it run through the check but it then restarts and does it again. Can someone please help?

Try the following step "Click on Start then Run , type cmd and press Enter . Next type fsutil dirty query x: where x: is your boot drive. This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type chkntfs /x c: . The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive on the next reboot. Now manually reboot your computer, it should not do a chkdsk and should take you directly to normal Windows login. Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another Command Prompt and enter chkdsk c: /r . Reply Y when asked if you want this to happen on the next boot. This should take you through 5 stages of the chkdsk scan and will unset that dirty bit. This can take an hour or more depending on the size of your hard drive, be patient and let it complete. Once booted back to Windows, open another Command Prompt and query the dirty bit again by entering fsutil dirty query c: and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive."

Hi, Daniel’s suggestion is worth to perform. If it does not work, please also try the following steps. 1. Click the Start Button, click Computer. 2. Right-click on the hard drive you would like to check and choose Properties. 3. Switch to the Tool tab and click on the "Check Now" button. Click Continue if necessary.4. Select both the "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" options. Note: If we are trying to check the system drive, we may need to restart the computer to complete the check process. 5. Click Start. Thanks Novak
