Hello, my asus rog laptop (model number g75vw) has recently had a poor shutdown due to reasons (video games crashing.) as a result, I have a dirty drive c. I've let the system churn through the "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete" and the "Scanning and repairing drive C: 0% complete' for at least 12 hours each. Neither of these options seem to yield any success. Recently, I've discovered that drive C is dirty with some help from a friend. I can not get chkdsk to run without forcing a dismount of the drive prior to scanning and repairing, and that makes me scared. I seem to have all my files intact, I can get to command prompt via holding f9 upon boot, but not much else. Safe mode has been inaccessable thus far.
I believe that if I Can get the dirty drive cleaned somehow, I will be able to move forwards. Unfortunately, I do not have anything else I can plug this drive into as it is my only sata capable machine in the house at the moment. I am rather strapped for cash so I would very much prefer to avoid spending money on parts if I can avoid it. I have USB drives laying about, but I may not have access to burnable media such as DVDs or CDs.
I have some startup things disabled through MSConfig in an effort to quell bloatware, but I Do not recall disabling anything I could not google as safe to remove (and nothing published by microsoft, intel, asus, or nvidia)
Any advice would be vastly appreciated. All I know for certain right now is that drive C is dirty, I have not messed with partitions since buying the PC, though it has seen a reformat or two before. Anytime I power up the machine, it states one of the two messages about "Scanning and repairing drive C, this may take over an hour to complete" and "Repairing drive C: 0% complete" The zero stays a zero, and never progresses to 1 or higher.
If I can provide any more information I will be happy to comply, and doing my best not to hold f5 while waiting for replies.
