[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1620210, member: 46727"] I would trash that disk and replace it with a new one. When a disk takes that long to repair, it usually means it has multiple bad sectors. There's no point risking your data on it any longer. But before you throw it away, check the purchase date and if it's still under warranty, request a RMA from the manufacturer. Let them replace it with a new drive. [/QUOTE]
