CHKDSK hang - lots of ? no answer

[ruggb]

W7
HDD w/3 partitions C:, D:, E:
C: = system
D: = Programs/data/profiles
E: = storage

I ran Chkdsk with the /b switch.
It ran fine on C: & D:
When I run it on E: it hangs at Stage 4 of 5 with 12% complete - 1409 of 197104 files processed. It has been there for hours.

I ran with no switch and with /F switch and it completes in a short time.
It is stage 4 that hangs - only 3 stages run for no and /f sws.

HD Tune Pro 4 did a full scan and found no errors.
There may be some large ISO or video files on this drive but none more than 4.5 GB. There might be larger folders.

I have rebooted and run chkdsk immediately. same result, same place to hang.

drive appears to function OK otherwise.

Since this never finishes there is no log created to be viewed in event viewer.
the ones that finish have a log generated.

The only SMART health issue is a UltraDMA CRC error count of 89, which is apparently due to an intermittent SATA data cable connection. It is not currently incrementing.

So, what is the problem, and can I get past this sometime in the near future without reformatting the partition?
