TROUBLE IN BOOTING

by sivag_1984 Jul 24, 2007 2:29PM PDT

Hi Am using XP SP2.My config is

* P4,3.0 Ghz
* 120 GB HDD
* 512 MB RAM
* Intel Mother Board

Problem is each time the system boots up,it asks to run scan to check consistency of one of my drive.Previously i shut down the system properly,but still it asks.If i allow it to run,it reads each file & specifies the particular file cannot be read.Next It goes to read next file & displays the same message.IT takes long time,so once again restarted the system & it goes for checking the disk for consistency again.Please help me.

You need to let it complete the process.

It seems your drive has problems and you need to let Check Disk complete the process, how ever long it takes.

I take it you have backups of all those important files you can't afford to lose?
