Hello,

My first problem is that i run powershell with admin rights and ran chkdsk f: /f /r . I thought it would restart pc after that but no, just started running chkdsk until now, so i could access the disk. Now, after about 3 hours total progress is 0%, but in phase 2, is this normal? should i wait? HD is not SSD and with 3.63TB capacity. I made chkdsk previously with CMD and didnt take so long, maybe is slower cause didnt boot windows?

Another problem is that the hard drive which made the windows boot was hit and cant be recovered. I had a SSD with the old windows partition, but dont know why needed this other hard drive to boot, i couldnt start Windows so i saw in the internet that could use bootrec /fixmbr, then bootrec /fixboot and then bootrec /rebuildcbd but that just made it worse. After making a clean install in other SSD i see the old windows partition in the other SSD shows my partition with all the data as EFI dont know why and cant access it, i tried to assign it a letter but gives me access denied

    I hear as the hard drive is working on something, but not sure if it is making a real progression, with cmd i could see as it was making some progress

    There is also a _ blinking at the start of the last line, which says "7066 finalizado"

    Hi Diego,

    My name is Igor, I have 12 Microsoft MVP awards. It's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you. I'm sorry you have a problems.

    You may try to press Ctrl+C to abort a check.

    Such long lengths of Stage 2 is not normal.

    Is this drive internal or USB connected? Could it be this is USB 3 drive but was connected to USB 2 sometimes?

    Please check drive's health with third party CrystalDiskInfo tool.

    As for boot repairing, please see a tips at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client...

    Using ctrl+c quit it inmediatly, it is a internal HD.

    I checked the link you gave but mentions the commands i used which were the ones which converted my partition to EFI and i cannot use it now, i want to convert my EFI partition as it was before so it can be access by explorer

    Sorry but I did not understand why do you need to convert EFI partition. And what do you want to get as result.
