I don't thinks it's running processes (as windows has not even fully loaded yet), and we have a corprate, up-to-date AV app that comes up clean so I doubt trojans/viruses as well. I'll try the recovery console.

Any idea if anyone has ever had such a problem? I can't find any refence to chkdsk locking up on any forums/help texts.

...am I the only person with such an issue???

Thansk for the help
