Disk Consistency

When I turn on my Acer Aspire 5570Z, which runs, Vista Home Premium, I see
the following, "One of your disk needs to be checked for consistency." Then
it runs the first three stages of Scan Disk before rebooting and loading
Vista. Can this be corrected?

Does this error mean harddrive failure or operating system failure or is
this normal? How can it be corrected; for example, (1) install of a new
harddrive with a clean install of Vista, or (2) do a clean install of Vista
over the existing installed Vista, or (3) get a new laptop?

If its #3 what would you recommend, I want to install games (like the Myst
series or Beowulf) and run Office XP Pro, Corel WordPerfect Suite, NIS 2007.
I understand if this question cannot be answered. Just seeking advice.

Thank you

Hi,

(4) Open an elevated command prompt and run chkntfs /d from the prompt.

Click start, type CMD. Right click the entry that appears in the start menu
and choose "run as administrator" to open the elevated prompt.

If that fails to clear the dirty bit that causes the disk checker to run,
then I'd suspect your NIS software is causing it.
