Check Disk

I have an Inspiron 1150 and I attempted to run check disk, but it won't complete even after hours of running it.  It will always gets stuck in the fifth and final stage with 0% of that stage complete.  I do not know how to skip the check disk so cannot get my computer up and running.  Is there anything I can do that will get me into windows?
 
Thanks,
Brent

    Better yet, run the extended Dell diagnostics on the drive - F12 at boot, boot to the diagnostic partition, and run a full surface test of the hard drive. Most likely you'll find it's failing.
