Vista Tutorial - Clean Install with a Full Version of Vista

sorry to sound redundant, but if I dont seem to be noticing any problems with my computer besides the fact I cant do the chkdsk do I even need to do this. I guess Im just wondering (I dont know much about computers), but is there a big concern? Will it be a bigger problem in the future?

That's ok MarryPoppins. Chkdsk is used to check for and try to fix any file corruption on the hard drive if any is found. It will not be a problem unless you needed to use it. I would keep good backups to be safe though. You might see if this tutorial can help with Chkdsk.

Chkdsk will Not Run at Startup in Vista

Oh I already tried it the SFC will not fix the corrupt files. So then I did a repair install and had temporary luck with that, but then after getting one succesful chkdsk in, I later got the problems back. Thats why I was about to do this, but I've been hesitant because I dont want to mess up my lap top before I go to college.

Should I try step two though on the Chkdsk tutorial even though SFC wont repair stuff? I guess I kinda neglected to move on to step two because the SFC and the log files thing got me confused for a bit too.

Yes, I would continue to do Step Two, Step Three, and Step Four in the Chkdsk tutorial to see if it can repair it for you. This is the manual way of fixing the autochk.exe file that SFC could not.

Do you have a link to the tutorial of saving files onto a DVD? Also if I have re-installation DVD's for my drivers and utilities, do I still need to create a DVD?

You can just drag and drop or Copy & Paste the files to a inserted blank DVD.

If you mean the OEM Vista Recovery CD, then this is not the same as the drivers. You should go ahead and download all of the latest driver versions for your devices and save them to DVD. It is best to have them if you need them than not having them and no way to get on the internet.

Well I have the OS already installed to your computer reinstallation DVD for the Window Vista home premium 32bit (which I think is the OEM recovery CD your talking about, if not Idk if I have an OEM recovery CD) and then theres the Drivers and Utilities Already installed on your computer used for reinstallation.

I'll do the dvd thing anyways, plus I have internet on my home computer, so I can still contact this website/you if Im having a problem. Although this is ranked only 1 in skill level, so Im guessing I shouldnt screw up too much if I was able to do the 4 skill level stuff in the Chkdsk, although then again that didnt work out for me.

How many GB does my DVD need? do you recommend a certain DVD?

As long as the DVD has enough free space to hold the files you want to put on it, you can use any type that your DVD drive supports. Usually a DVD+R.

Does it usually take a long time, like 2 days, or is the dvd Im currently using just a bad one for what Im trying to do? I did notice the time skipping around earlier so maybe its doing that again because before it went from 17 hours to 11 and then I left for a couple of minutes and it jumped to 2 days.

No, usually just installing Vista only takes around a couple of hours.
