Windows XP pro blue screen On STARTUP

[techie367]

Hello...

Lately I have been getting a blue screen everytime i boot up or restart my computer. I get the blue screen that says drive C has to checked for consistency. It starts and takes about 10-15 minutes to check the drive. It always replaces bad clusters, files, etc. I was wondering why I am getting this so often. It is a real inconvience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The fact that you are seeing constant file system problems could indicate an underlying hardware problem. The first thing you should do is make sure you back up any important files just in case the disk becomes unreadable.

Some things to check out.

The fix in this might work for Chkdsk.
