Why do I get the message "One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency" on each bootup?
Why do I get the message "One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency" on each bootup?
I get this message on a blue screen every time I start my Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit.
I have four partitions: C with operative system, D with disk image, E will soon have Windows Vista on it and F will soon have a Linux on it. All four partitions exist now, but D, E and F are all empty.
I have had a lot of trouble with an external HDD that I always have attached to my laptop: HP nx7300. The external HDD is a Freecom Toughdrive 250 GB with a password. Currently, it works very well though, but I just had a thought that maybe this error message during bootup could be related to my external HDD.

Yes, I've let it run through one time so I thought it would disappear after that. But it didn't...

I received several suggestions on how to check what's wrong with my disk or disks as well as suggestions on how to turn the check disk off. That is sufficient for me so the question can be closed.
i would be interested in the outcome of the disk diag
unless of course, you let it run the scan everytime, but yet it still continues to show up everytime you boot?
