Hi,
I was cleaning up a friend's computer and decided to schedule a disk check for bad sectors from the Tool section in the C:\ Property window. I told him that next time he boot up his pc, the scan was going to start. When he did that, the scan started but it stopped on step 4 and it did not continue for about 4 hours. He told me that he unplug the pc hoping that next time he boot it up, the scan will not resume, which did not happened. Any ideas why the scan will freeze on step 4?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, i'll try save mode next time, what it looks like is that my friend freak out because it was taking too long. I told him to leave it over night and that was long enough for the scan to be completed.

Thanks
