How do I stop a scheduled HDD consistency check and get to windows?

I scheduled a consistency check of my hdd for the next restart. For some reason the check does absolutely nothing

It tells me I can abort the disk check and countsdown, but I can't abort the check!

Now everytime I start my computer it just goes into the disk check screen and does absolutley nothing.

Somebody please help!!!

 

Have you tried booting into safe mode (Press F8 rapidly during boot) and seeing if that prevents the disk check from running? If so, disable the disk check upon boot option you previous enabled.

 

I can't even get in in safe mode.

 

Why can't you get into safe mode?

 

I press f8 to get into the safe mode startup options, but when I select one it starts loading files and then just hangs.

 

Try checking the disk using the installation DVD. Your hard drive may have serious issues.

 

Looks like you may be having some serious hard drive and or OS corruption issues. You could try running a repair install of Windows, you could also try recovering some of your files using a LiveCD version of Linux like Ubuntu prior to doing that.

 

For how long does it hangs? Did you try waiting for few minutes?

 

Can you check if your hdd is dirty ?

Fixed the problem last night with the help of HP tech support. The girl remotely connected and turned of schedulemanager (think that's what it was called) in the task manager. Now when it boots into windows, none of the things that are set to run on startup (like steam and Yahoo messenger) startup automatically. Oh well. Least it's running okay. Better back everything up in case it poops out for any reason.
