If your getting this in command prompt you will need to say Yes (or Y) to the option of unmounting your harddrive on next restart.... Greg says:

Does Windows Vista store these results anywher so I can read them and print the results out? Thanks. When the disk check got finished, the data results flashed so fast I never could read them.

Has real problem booting. Gets to desktop about every 3rd try. HP Advisor says bad block in boot sector is the issue. I decided to run chkdsk /f on it. Been running for over 24 hours and still stuck at exactly 20% completion of stage 4 of 5. HD light alternates between short blips and longer blips coming in series. How long should I allow this to continue with reasonable hope of soloution? I read that chkdsk should not be halted. However what more harm than irreparable can there be? Will CNTRL C halt the program? Just power down? How long is long enough to assume defeat? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I know a little about PC's but I'll never know enough.
