One of your disks has to be checked .........

[bent]

At random, maybe every 5th time I boot my computer, then at other
times 2 or 3 times in a row, I will get message...

ONE OF YOUR DISKS NEEDS BE CHECKED FOR CONSISTANCY, and then it goes
thru the routine of checking. Always shows everything OK.

I am using XP home SP2.

I usually shut down by pressing WinKey and U, U. I have tried
shutting down from the START button and have had the CHECK message
appear also.

What can be causing this? It has been happening for about 2 months now.

Thanks

Ben

Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..
