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.

After I run chkdsk /f /r from UBCD what do you want me to do after that.
By the ways I saw your post like 45 minutes ago. Right now I am running check disk and its in 41%.
Also what do you think will happen after I run check disk? Also is it ok if I name the volume name "Windows 7"?
The Windows XP CD was one of the things I already tried and it did not work and I tried several times.
If you use the UBCD and reformat using the "Full" format option one more time and then while still in UBCD environment run chkdsk /f /r and see if chkdsk fails or passes.

Yea I unchecked the Overwrite files option and it still didnt work. I was wondering how about we use the actual Windows XP CD to do the format because I think the XP CD will actually get rid of it because I think of the XP CD being able to speak the same language with the MFT and be able format it. The thing is that I tried the Windows XP but it doesnt even let me get to the main menu of the CD it just says something like the Setup can't detect any hard drive which I dont understand why. I think the XP CD will work but I dont know how to make the Setup even start.
