This problem only recently began. Whenever I ran CHKDSK, Windows
was unable to restart Windows properly. It would bring up that
screen stating "We aplogize for the inconvenience, but Windows
could not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change
might have caused this", and I would have to choose the
"Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that
worked) Start Windows Normally" in order for Windows to start
properly.
More recently, however, when I run CHKDSK, the entire process
stalls on step 4 of 5 (verifying files, I think), at 57 percent
complete. The computer basically freezes; even the working light on
the computer remains lit. I have to turn off the computer, after
which the first problem described above occurs ("We apologize for
the inconvenience", etc.) before Windows runs properly.
This only began in the last month or so, at least, that's when I
first noticed it. The "inconvenience" message comes up even if I
decide to skip the scheduled CHKDSK process. I really hope someone
can help me with this issue.
Have you downloaded and utilized the hard disk drive manufacturer's
diagnostic utilities?
Could be a bad hard disk drive.
Also - if you have anyway to do it (BartPE Boot CD, making an image of the
entire drive, etc) --> I suggest you backup your data from that drive *now*.
