For HP UEFI hardware diagnostics the latest version is 6.5 or 6.6.

Once there is a working operating system download and install the most up to date HP UEFI diagnostics and run a loop until failure test.

If Chkdsk command going to take 25 hrs then you might as well cancel Chkdsk command as your hard disk drive is probably failing i have run Chkdsk command on 2TB HDD and this is the estimated 3:00:15 time, this hard drive is external and connected to USB 3.0 port.

Thank you so much for the help. How do I cancel chkdsk, if I stop in middle it won't cause a problem correct? Also I put d drive for checking chkdsk, I should have verified the drive os as suggested. I also want to take the time to thank you fine people, it is so nice if you to help, very grateful.

You can press Ctrl + C keys at Command Prompt to stop Chkdsk command.

I'm not sure you can execute below command from Windows RE but lets try it and if you can post a screenshot of the output of the command.

Code:

wmic diskdrive get status

I am working on running the 3 commands boot free gave, bootrec / fix mbr, fix boot, rebuild bcd if I do this after the scan will it mess up the disk, I want to fix it but worst case I want to make sure I can still access my files to backup via a slave drive as backup.

You can backup your personal files by executing Notepad from Command Prompt. From Notepad click File from menu bar and select Save this will open a File Explorer where you can copy and paste your personal files to connected storage drives.

There is an additional option that can fix the recent problems with inaccessible boot device and that is to revert pending actions.
Let us know the outcome of the present commands.

The drive can be removed from the computer and placed in a drive enclosure or placed into another computer. Then you can run chkdsk /x /f /r to evaluate and fix the drive.

An additional option is to use a boot rescue drive and test the drive.

Let us know your progress.
