Hi, Matt.

Sometimes it takes CHKDSK a very long time to resolve whatever problem it
finds. How long did you wait? Five minutes? Five hours? Sometimes the
delay can be a half-hour or more. Do you see another little dot appear on
the screen every few minutes? If you restart, does CHKDSK start again at
the beginning, or does it quickly get to the 41% again?

The power failure just might have corrupted the HD fatally, but that doesn't
happen nearly as often these days as it did a couple of decades ago.
Today's HDs are much more resilient. But fatalities do still happen
sometimes.

You might need to run a diagnostic from the HD maker. Seagate makes
SeaTools and other manufacturers have their own tools. When we buy a HD, we
usually get those tools on a CD in the box; if the HD was in the PC
originally, that CD may be in all the packaging in the PC box. If you can't
find the CD, then you should be able to download the tools from the
HD-maker's website - if you have a working computer or a friend with one.

Oh, I just noticed that you are coming into this MS public newsgroup via the
vBulletin USENET gateway, and messages do not always get relayed back and
forth properly, so I'm probably not seeing the whole conversation. Please
check back and let us know how this turns out. To post directly to the MS

after the restart chkdisk will quickly get to 41%. I have waited 30mins.
The hdd came with an acer computer that I replaced all the parts on. I
may go buy a new one.

Do you get your normal list of work options when you tap F8 right at power on?
And if you do, can you get into Safe Mode?
