    Yes, it would take some hours to complete if the drive has problems.

    Hi Kentzo,

    The Estimated time depends on a number of factors, most prominently the switches used and the extent of corruption. If there is no corruption, expect the drive to scan within 10 minutes(using chkdsk /f switch).

    Honestly, there is no answer if the corruption is there or the presence of bad sectors - the completion may take many hours or more if you are running with /r switch.

    Hope that helps.

    I'm running with /r switch
