Fixing C: in stages
I have a new laptop and as backing up my files to an external drive using Robocopy. It was going on for a long time and I didn't see any progress and was unable to find it in Task Manager, so I finally just shut it down for the night. In the morning when I rebooted, I got the message "Fixing C: Stage 1, .....ETA 20.31..." I left it alone for a while, then rebooted, and the same message came back. This time I left it to do its thing and it finally recovered, much to my relief. I reran Robocopy manually rather than in a .bat file so I could monitor and got everything moved over to my new laptop (whew!)
I've been using both, the old one on off as I get my programs installed on the new one. My question is this: What caused the "Fixing C:...." message? In other threads it was suggested that the hard drive was dying, but I haven't seen evidence of that, EXCEPT now and then a clicking for a moment or two, and then its gone.
