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.

My laptop has 4Gb of memory.
In the root of C: the only folders and files are:
CPM
dell
Intel
MSO Cache
Perf Logs
Program Files
Program Data
Users
Windows
bootsqm
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the root of the C: drive. (Make sure that the View settings are set to show "All" hidden files and folders.
Did you create any personal folders at the root level?
If not then the only folders that you should see are:
Windows, Recovery, ProgramData, Program Files, Documents and Settings, Users, PerfLogs, System Volume Information, $Recycle.Bin
(If there any other folders other then those listed above please list them)
What "files" are located at the root level, normally you should only see the following:
autoexec.bat, config.sys, hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys If there are any other files please list them.
What are the sizes of your hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys ?
How much memory does your laptop have?
