Disk consistency error msg

[Craig Griffin]

My computer has Win XP Pro loaded as the only OS, lately
it has been freezing, mainly in email (Outlook 2000), and
when I restart it I receive the message that one of the
disks need to be check for consistency, (there is only 1
HDD), the disk is checked automatically and the computer
runs great for a while and then the same thing over again.
The only software that has been added in the last 8
months is Norton AV 2003, but that has been on here since
July 2003 and this problem only started about 3 weeks ago.
Could this be virus related, NAV picks up nothing and
neither does PC Cillin housecall, or is the HDD dying?
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,

Prevent Check Disk Upon Boot (Line 294)

Check Disk - Disk Checking Runs Upon Boot

Check Disk runs on every boot: Note - I have seen this happen when Windows
File Protection has either been disabled or not allowed to run upon
cancelling the bootup Check Disk.
