![]() Just five minutes ago I went to check the message about USN it was giving me to type in here. I came on here to ask if powering down during stage 3 was prudent because it had been sitting at 0 percent of this phase for 2+ days. Every time I am almost ready to give up and try data recovery instead, it makes a jump in progress. It has been running for over a week now, suggesting that there is a fair bit of corruption on the drive. This drive repair has been an exercise of patience. The percentage complete indicator advances relatively smoothly throughout this phase, although some unevenness might occur. The percentage complete that ChkDsk displays during this phase is the percentage of the number of files and directories on the volume that are checked. Stage 3: ChkDsk verifies the security descriptors for each volume During stage 3, ChkDsk examines each of the security descriptors associated with each file and directory on the volume by verifying that each security descriptor structure is well formed and internally consistent. I realise powering down at stage 1 is safe (reading operation only) and stage 2 can be potentially detrimental to data (some writing operation may be happening), but I am unsure about how important the USN stage 3 is to the data integrity. Not necessary to read if you’re in a rush… At stage 3, “CHKDSK is resetting USN information”, will bombing out by powering down or unplugging the drive cause any drastic loss of data? Will the above stated lack of elevated cmd privileges result in something unforeseen? I am using an admin account so have some admin privileges. I forgot to elevate the privileges before starting but did not get any warning about insufficient privileges. I am running from within windows using run> cmd> chkdsk /f. So I am running chkdsk /f using a windows 7 pro 64 bit laptop in a nice chilly room.
