I revceived a kernel page error and then some other error that said to send
report to microsoft. So I did and then they came back and said to run a
chkdsk. I used the guided help and checked to fix errors. This chkdsk
process took a long time fixing bad sectors in files. I ended up just going
to bed while it was still running. Went down this AM before work and now it
is asking for a boot disk. Do I just put in the cd that came with the
computer? Do I bypass this somehow? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

You don't want to. It's looking to replace damaged or corrupted data that
chkdsk found on your install with originals from the install media.

not if it's asking for a BOOT disk, it appears the chkdsk hosed up your
primary hd,
Please give us the exact wording of the message.

I restart the computer and chkdsk is running again finding more files with
bad sectors. I had someone tell me that it sounds like the hard drive is
about to go out. I guess I will see what the chkdsk does this time and then
report back. Thanks for the info.
