XP laptop, chkdsk appeared upon attempting to boot: I let it. It encountered an index issue in phase 2, fixed then re-assigned an orphan. Then after final phase 3, it displayed that it had to reboot/restart. And it's been a blank screen for 2.5 hours now!! The chkdsk appeared *before* it ever got to Windows. How long could this take? What can I do: I can't get the on/off to turn off, so it it just working in-background?? Help!!

Sounds like your disk is toast. Have you thought about a new computer?

You can try putting the drive in another computer as a secondary drive and try to run chkdsk on it from there, but it sounds like it's time to replace that drive.
