Sorry forgot to mention that, CHKDSK cannot run because windows is running, that is normal as chkdsk needs complete access to the drive.
About how long did it run?
1) When you get the message "volume clean" it ONLY means it checked that small area on your hard drive called, "system reserved". And when you hit a key, it boots normally, but you have NOT done a surface scan or checkdisk. The key here is that it happens within seconds of your reboot.
2) If your chkdsk briefly shows it's checking and then quickly goes to a normal boot, it actually repaired or cleaned the area in system reserved.
In either of the two instances it did not do a full check on your disk. It needs to have a clean system reserve to save data while it does a full scan.
Once one of the two items above has been noted, you need to once again do a chkdsk, and you will find the normal one or two hour scan. Most people don't notice the two items above because they have to be watching the screen... usually they start the scan and walk off.
