I recently updated my hard drive to NTFS (from FAT32 using the Convert
utility) and since then most every time I do a regular re-boot Windows
indicates that my system wasn’t properly shut down and my drive needs to
be checked for consistency. Prior to the convert this almost never
happened unless there was a power failure or something that did result in
a non-controlled shut down.
During the consistency check errors are typically found and corrections
made. I loose files and have to re-install software often. Thinking the
conversion was merely a coincidence and my drive is failing, I downloaded
the Mfr’s diagnostic utility and ran the drive through their battery of
tests. Everything came back clean, there were no errors found.
Is there something I may have failed to do during the conversion? Or,
anyone have any help/ideas why this is occurring?
Thank you for any and all assistance.
