Disk checking

[Guest]

Each time I start XP I get the blue screen and the message one of your disks needs checking. However, the disk check starts and then locks up completely. I can get the computer to boot just fine by bypassing this screen by hitting enter but does anyone out there know how I can eliminate the problem?

Hi,

Each time I start XP I get the blue screen and the message one of your disks needs checking. However, the disk check starts and then locks up completely. I can get the computer to boot just fine by bypassing this screen by hitting enter but does anyone out there know how I can eliminate the problem?

Go to the Recovery console and type:
chkdsk /r

Good luck

Don't know if it would help, but you could try running the disk check once logged in. Click Start, then Run, and type chkdsk, then run it.
