About a while ago I ran chkdsk to check and recover bad sectors and fix system files and it then froze at 43% on stage 5 of 5. I left it on through out the night and I went to school and came back it was still at 43%. I then manually shut down the computer and ever since I have been trying to fix the problem. It was the second time I ran chkdsk on this pc while having windows 7 I usually run chkdsk every month or so to make sure everything is functioning right. After my problem occured I have tried so many things i have ran spinrite,I have reinstalled windows, I have tried to run chkdsk on safe mode, I have tried sfc/scannow, and chkdsk /p and all of these things did not fix the problem. Chkdsk /p was the only thing that didnt even try to fix anything because it said invalid parameter. Also when I reinstalled windows 7 on my pc then chkdksk froze at 49% on stage 5 of 5. I even ran diagnostics from the bios and I use Seagate Seatools and both diagnostics said my hard drive was perfectly fine. I also tried running chkdsk from the windows 7 cd and for some reason it completed in less than 2 hours. I then ran chkdsk from the pc and it then froze again this made me think that there had to be something wrong with my pc. So I was wondering how can I get chkdsk to complete perfectly from my pc again instead of using the windows 7 cd each time.

I would just like to fix or delete those bad blocks in the 40 GB and then bring my hard drive back to normal by bringing all those seperate partitions I created in all of this back to one, if you think its safe or possible. I dont think my Windows partition will get cluttered much because I scan it every month for problems and if my pc has been acting weird lately I would scan it every week. I have System Mechanic to get rid of that clutter ;-)
By the way what I suggested will be tried out on my hard drive first by duplicating your drive partition arrangment.

OK, here my plan:
A) Create a new partition using all of the available free space.
B) Create a new partition using most of the available free space and the remainig space use to expand the existing backup partition (or even make a second backup partition.
That new partition in step A above can be used for a number of things from installing applications, storing data files (music, photos, etc) so they don't clutter up the Windows partition.
What do you think?
