My desktop computer has gone wonky again, taking an insanely long time to perform even the simplest actions, so I popped the SpinRite CD in yesterday 
After 14.5 hours, the program says it has another 9.5 hours to go to complete its work on my hard drive.
It’s a killer program and it rescued my hard drive last winter when I couldn’t even get it to boot to Windows, but it left me with a scenario where it takes a little more than an hour for Windows and all of my startup programs to load. It’s my fervent hope that this SpinRite treatment will fix that as well, but I have a nagging sense that I’m living on borrowed time with this hard drive.

Spinrite Rules!
Yeah. The current operation will take another 88 hours (!) to complete.
Jeez, that's more than 3 1/2 days. But I won't complain if it fixes everything.
