   ...Finally ran chkdsk after noticing some terrible hanging on the Dell Latitude E6220's Windows 7 install on an old Samsung SSD. The system is trashed; surprising it even boots at all.
   
   This was used to continue archiving the DVD video library. Those files are fine.
   
   Probably going to need my original Windows 7 DVDs if sfc /scannow fails to fix this after the chkdsk ends.

     Oh, forgot it locked up once trying to remove some old files to free up space. It was also after one other file brought up an I/O error. That is what prompted me to run chkdsk in the first place.
     
     Will have to assess the drive and then possibly clone the install to another one to save it.

     Finally, an update: a few days ago, the install had to be cloned to another SSD because the system would lock up after login. Surprisingly, the system after cloning was fine. This, however, broke the AnyDVD HD trial eight days in. (I was imaging the somewhat large DVD collection during this incident.) Requesting a new trial also worked...!
