XP: How can I disable Chkdsk from the Recovery Console?  When I do run
chkdsk it gets stuck at 55% in stage 5 and sits there for hours. 
Since it never finishes it wants to re-run chkdsk at every boot.  I
tryed booting up in safe mode, but that stalls out as well.  Any
suggestions?

Have you tried the DISBALE command?

REFERENCE:

How to install and use the Recovery Console in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307654
[scroll to "command actions"]
..."Disable disables a Windows system service or driver. The variable
service_or_driver is the name of the service or driver that you want
to disable. When you use this command to disable a service, the
command displays the service's original startup type before it changes
the type to SERVICE_DISABLED. Note the original startup type so that
you can use the enable command to restart the service..."

Also, read the section on chkdsk:

..."Chkdsk The /p switch runs Chkdsk even if the drive is not flagged
as dirty. The /r switch locates bad sectors and recovers readable
information. This switch implies /p. Chkdsk requires Autochk. Chkdsk
automatically looks for Autochk.exe in the startup folder. If Chkdsk
cannot find the file in the startup folder, it looks for the Windows
2000 Setup CD-ROM. If Chkdsk cannot find the installation CD-ROM,
Chkdsk prompts the user for the location of Autochk.exe..."

IF you use the /p switch, maybe it would correct the error or label
the sectors as bad, and then could finish.

Let me know if this helps.
