Computer question

Link · 10-07-2003, 02:40 AM

I don't know why or how, but all of the sudden my computer goes checking the disks when it starts up. I haven't got the faintest clue why it does that and have already checked if I checked some box in the Configuration Screen, but I failed to find the problem there.
More details: it checks in three stages, saying something about "NTFS control". What the hell?!? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]
I can post the computer stats but I don't think that's necessary..

You should post which O.S. you use, that would help helping you !

Knew I was forgetting something. I'm using Windows XP Professional.

Have you any planned tasks set ? Could be one of them is the checking of the disks ...

Have you been shutting down the computer improperly all the time?

I know in my case i have a flash disk and if i leave it in and reboot, the computer comes up with a blue screen and scanns it. Have you added/changed your hardware recently?

Well my computer does reboot once in a while, but it never does it then. The past few times I've just put the computer on, and then it happened, when I just shut it down normally the night before...

ummm, just to let you know, xp pro is very buggy, when was the last time you updated the system?

Well the last time an update arose on my comp is like three days ago. Not that long [img]smile.gif[/img] But I haven't seen it for a day now, I'll check back tomorrow morning when I turn on my computer.. again

I'm not an addict, honestly

Its actually not bad at all, I have professional and haven't updated it since I got it (I know, bad idea, but still...). I haven't had any problems with it. To my knowledge Home Edition is supposed to be the buggy version...
