do you let the chkdsk continue? You may be having the first signs of a disk problem. I suggest you go to the HD makers site and download a disk ultilty to test it. If you tell us what kind of HD we can help you find it

ken

Hd maker what is this ? Yes i let it continue then it does its test then i sign in next time i turn my laptop off and on again i have to go through the same process.

Milla

Im sorry, what kind of hard disk do you have? If yoou dont know you can right click the dvd drive icon>go to properties>go to hardware. Let us know and we can help you find the right one

Ok western digital has a download page located here WD Support > Downloads > Select Product . pick you drive and look for the testing utility. Download it and run it on the drive. It will tell y9ou if there is a problem and if so what it is.

hoep this helps

You sure about the WDC number? I went to western digital and searched for the WD1200bevs. there were no results. Could you check it again for me?

I still cant find this 1200bevs-75ust0 drive. WD drives in the US have names like western digital black and a model number.

Was the computer purchased in a different country?

Nope im in england it was purchased here.

My misatake. Let me investigate

EDIT: nope not western digitalin UK either. I think I am beating a dead horse on this. What you need is a utility to check your hard drive. I have to find a free one that works in vista.

When I find it I will put the link here. this may take a little while but I will be back asap.

ken

Sorry about the delay. the HD utility has to be from WD. I would like you to type this in search. Type system information. then look under components>storage>disks and tell me what it says. also tell me how big it is. your computer is a laptop, correct?
