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.

Oh yea take your time our goal is to fix this problem. I wouldn't mind you taking your time as long as your report your progress every 2 days or so. Also I tried your suggestion for making the 9.80 and 139.76 Gb together as unallocated space. When I make the 9.80 GB partition and I right click it...Extend is grayed out.
After I tried what you told me to do I deleted Temp and made the 9.80GB back to unallocated space. Everything is back to normal in the Disk Management. Any other suggestions?
Sad to report but after many hours of work and so close to success still have a bug, the error code only brings up 6, yes that six hits when Googled and none offer a solution.
I have an idea of the cause but Microsoft yanked the fix from their website some time back. So I'm back to square one and because I've negeleted to keep up with a number of other things I'm going to need to slow down a little on this for a number of reasons. So if you can wait untill I can find a solution,
(I'll still post some progress updates every day or two) it would be appreciated. I may need to ditch Acronis True Image and try Norton Ghost if this last try using Acronis does not work.

In 'Disk Management' right click on the 9.8GB (unallocated) space and create an NTFS partition and perform a 'Quick' format. Label it 'Temp' and use T as the drive letter. Once you have the 'Tenp' partition created right click and select 'Expand', expand the 'Temp' partition to include all the 139.75GB marked as Free space.
Now you should have a 'Test' partition about 149.56GB in size. Next step is to delete the 'Test' partition totally so all that remains is 149.56GB of 'Unallocated' space.
The bad block/sector will still be in that unallocated area. Your Windows 7 and Backup partition should remain untouched.

How can I do that since the Free space is an extension of the 30.00 GB? I have a question wont the bad blocks spread and mess up the 9.80 GB?
