Help
My pc, running under XP SP3, started being very noisy some days ago. Today this message appeared (Unmountable boot volume) and no way to boot (is would boot over and over). So I boot with XP System Recovery DVD and run CHKDSK. After that is went alone, no way to control it, saying things such as "file record segment xxxxx is unreadable" 5 times, then "deleting orphan file records etc..." mpre than 50 times, then "deleting index entry" 3 times (system.ini, sessionstore.js, sessio...1.js) and eventually saying CHKDSK is recoverning lost files. It's been stuck at this point for at least 6 hours and I don't know if I should leave it all night like this or is I should do something? Do you think I will be able to recover my documents (my last full backup dates back to June unfortunately...) ?

When chkdsk has not been run for a lengthy period, it takes a long time.
This time is compounded if the hard drive has problems and/or C: is it is very large.

ok thanks a lot, I have never done it before and the hard disk is 100 GB with only 10 GB free. So I'll leave it all night a keep you informed tomorrow, unless something happen before I go to bed (it's 1am CET now)
Cheers
