help-dirty volume

hi

When I start up computer it goes straight to chkdisk saying that the NFTS volume is dirty,

the chk disk has 3 stages and it runs throught the first to 100% but then the next bit just stops running and nothing happens.

Any Ideas
Nice to save.

    How long have you left it when you say nothing happens?

    2 hrs is not a huge length of time, try overnight but prepare that the hdd is failing
