CHKDSK Stalling - can't bypass scan

In order to troubleshoot another problem I was advised in several articles to run chkdsk. So I did and it ran at the next start up as expected but then it stalled on stage 5. The first time it stalled at 68%. I left it running and ran errands all day and when I got back it was still at 68%. I tried rebooting 2 - 3 times and each time it stalled at stage 5 around 58 - 68%

when I boot it doesn't give me an option to skip the scan. What should I do? I'm thinking of trying to hit f8 repeatedly on the next reboot but before I waste my time does anyone know if booting in safe mode by passes the scan?
