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.

Haven't forgat you, still working at it.
Your drive partition information currently looks like this when viewed from ‘Disk Management’.
System Reserved Windows 7 Backup
100MB 118.42 GB 9.80 GB 139.76 GB 30.00 GB NTFS
Healthy(...) Healthy(...) Unallocated Free space Healthy(.....)
You need to convert the 139.7GB area from ‘Free Space’ to unallocated so the drive partition information will be as follows:
System Reserved Windows 7 Backup
100MB 118.42 GB 149.56GB 30.00 GB NTFS
Healthy(...) Healthy(...) Unallocated Healthy(.....)

Must be "C ute P artition M anager"
Been so many post I forgot, sorry but as it's going right now that SRD may be needed, that's the bug or the requirement to use the SRD I'm trying to elimate.
It would be nice to finish the Acronis restore process without the need to do a Starup Repair.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium the Full Product not the upgrade product because I thought the full product would have more advantages in the future if anything. Also I created the System Repair Disk since the first time you told me to do so.
Are you sure one of the partition utilities I used could have messed with the Master Boot Record because the only program I have used that I can remember is Partition Wizard since it was able to format and I think the Cute Partition Manager.
Going through a second attemp now to verify the documention is accurate and trying to elimate a bug.
Do you have your Windows 7 upgrade DVD?
Have you created a Windows 7 System Repair Disk. If not do so now as you may need it later.

I see that by the folders you posted there is one named C:\CPM which most likely was created by one of those partition utilites you tried, if it changed the Master Boot Record (MBR) this could be a potential problem.
Keep in mind that because the Image backup file is stored on the same hard drive as Windows (and not on an external USB hard drive) the time it takes me to run a test is painfully slow as every is a partition to partition tranfer and not a drive to drive transfer and I'm using a Western Digital Raptor drive whereas you will be using your internal laptop drive which is designed to conserve battery power and not optimized for speed which means its going to be even a slower process for you.
