I was attempting to set up my laptop to run a Chkdsk (Error-Checking). But when I restarted my system...it took about 45 min. to restart. It has never done that before. It was all of a sudden. It shuts down..then tries to restart. But it only gets to the 'black screen' with a 1/4" horizontal line on the middle of the screen...and it stays like that for 35 - 45 min...then it starts up.
And when it starts up...it does not run the Chkdsk...strange!! I run it periodically...and am familiar with the steps on running a Chkdsk.
Question #1: What would make a system take that long to restart?
Question #2: What would prevent a system from not running a Chkdsk after it had been scheduled to be run at next startup?
Thx in advance!!
