downloaded and installed ok, after restart computer wants
to check my harddrive and stalls at 11% complete. after
skiping check on restart my computer gets stuck in a loop
with a strange grinding noise coming from my drive(?),but
finally after three minutes of grind it finishes startup.
all of this is reproducable. a disk check after startup
produces no problems. switching users also produces grind-
loop eventually getting to other user. is it me or the
update? anyone else with recent probs after last update?
please help.
 
It may be just coincidental, but there could be two possibilities;
1) Somehow disk read/write caching has been disabled, or
2) The disk drive is on its last legs - have you checked the
event logs?
