Help-Hard disk utility problem???

[victor voul]

Every time I start my PC (Dell 8200 1.8 gig with XP) it goes into
check disk mode.
A light blue screen comes on after the Welcome XP logo with the
following message.
"Checking file system on C. One of your disks needs to be checked for
consistency.
You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended you
continue.
To skip disk checking press any key within 10 seconds.
Check Disk is verifying files stage 1 of 3"

The first stage of Check disk completes THEN a blue screen appears
with a page long message with white type for about 1/2 second so I
can't read the message. The cycle starts all over again.(Is there any
way to freeze this message, so I can at least read it??)
The above cycle goes into a repeat mode over and over.

By pressing any key within the beginning of the first screen I can get
out of he check disk mode, and my PC seemingly works okay
I have attempted to go into check disk manually via my computer>local
disk C>Properties>Tools and this also results in the completion of
ONLY the first stage
And
Running check disk manually with the chkdsk command in DOS terminates
after the first two stages. Now I have found I can't run defrag
either. When I attempt to defrag I get a message that chkdsk is
scheduled to run on C, please run Chkdsk/f.
I do that and chkdsk AGAIN cannot complete.

Can anyone please help me with this frustrating problem?
Thanks for your help!

I have exactly the same problem and no one seems to have an answer!

I'm having the same problem with my computer. I have a 120Gig HD partitioned
into two drives, C and D. Everytime I restart, I get the same thing on my D
drive.
Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it except that. Sure wish someone
would help us get this fixed. Thanks,

Well, I finally just reformatted my D drive and that did the trick.
