    Is there anyway to pause the summary of chkdsk when it is done so I can read it?

    Go to the chkdsk logs in Event viewer > Winlogon

    or start in Safemode command prompt and run the command "chkdsk C: /f >C:\checkdisk.txt"

    Thanks a lot. I found that I have 4kb in bad sectors, that sounds good to me or is that wrong.

    Doesnt sound bad.

    Download HDtune and do a full disk scan. Also check the SMART health for any warnings.

    I think I need to consider doing this. My HDD has been freaking out lately.
