Hello,

Probably Scandisk/Check Disk is enabled during start up on your PC.

However if it is running automatically then there might be various reasons,

1: IF PC is shut down improperly.
2: Bad Sectors on your Computer.
3: HD might be on the verge of corruption.

You may want to let that run and if you want to disable it then you may want to follow below mentioned steps,

Step 1: Do it with the freeware version of X-Setup: http://linux4.wekanet-team.de/download/390/xqdcxsp-setup-en.exe
Download and install the program, run it, click "Classic," and on the plugins list go to Startup/Shutdown>Startup>Windows NT/2K/XP>01)Bootup Options>Boot-time Autochk Settings. In the plugin options window on the right you can disable chkdsk running on bootup for a couple types of bootups.

Step 2: Go to : my computer ----> right click on the hard drive you have -----> then properties -----> tools
and see if your scan disc feature is enabled.
If it is then when your computer restarts, it will do an automatic hard disk check.

Step 3: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\
CONTROL\Session Manager
The default value is BootExecute:REG_MULTI_SZ:autocheck autochk *

NOTE: You mey want to try step 2 first and not try step 3 with proper guidence as a simple mistake can corrupt your OS. I mentioned this as part of knowledge sharing.

Huge problems with Acer E360 when formatting... Hello there. I a big problem with my aspire E360. It all started out with an virus who gave me BSOD/Restarted my computer before i even could login. So i...

First thing I'd do would be to run a hard drive scan from a cd or bootable USB. It sounds very much like a hardware problem and failed hard drives are very common occurances. Given the age of your PC that seems to be the most likely cause of this problem but a hdd scan will confirm that. Unfortunately you'll need access to a PC to get those tools ready.

Turn computer on the user login screen comes up... enter password and then a blank screen.

Have you removed any virus's or spyware? Windows is either getting stuck on a corrupted driver/loader or a file was deleted. Some virus's do this. If you have a windows disk, run setup from the disk and you will be given the option to repair windows before installing. Select this and when prompted, select startup repair. If this does not work boot to safe mode with networking and try running system restore. If you have system restore enabled and it shows up unavailable or no restore points set, you might have a virus. Forget the free virus/spam removal downlads, they WILL NOT WORK!!! Go to onecare.live.com and use their full scan. It is completely free, runs online, and provided by Microsoft, not some knock-off company. It is the ONLY free removal tool that hes ever worked for me, and I have tried literally every one I have ever found on Google.

Bad_pool_header

Microsoft doesn't seem to have any information on XP having this error. But here's the general consensus after a little investigation:

1. Boot into safe mode by pressing the F8 key repetitively right after you turn on your PC until you see the safe mode screen.
2. Click Start >> Run. A Run window will appear.
3. Type "services.msc" in the Open field and then click OK. A "Services" window will open.
4. Find "Indexing Service" and double click on it. A "Indexing Service Properties" window will open.
5. Find the "Startup type" dropdown menu and select "Disabled", click "OK", and close the "Services" window.
6. Double click "My Computer" on your desktop. If it isn't there, then go to Start >> My Computer.
7. Find your hard drive, usually labeled "Local Disk (C:)", right-click on it and select "Properties". A dialog box will open.
8. Select the "Tools" tab.
9. In the upper third of the dialog box you'll see an area zoned "Error-checking". Click the button "Check Now". A new dialog box will open.
10. Check off the boxes "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors", then click "Start". You may be prompted to restart the computer. If this is the case, go ahead and restart.

Windows will check the hard drive for errors and run a surface scan. This may take a while depending on how big your hard drive is. Once it is finished, you'll arrive at your normal login screen. If Windows went ahead and ran the scan in safe mode without requiring a reboot then, once it is finished, go ahead and reboot the computer. Once at the login screen, go ahead and login. You shouldn't have the error any longer. If you do, be sure to report back here with details. The less details you provide, the less I can help.

Try to tune up your machine: scan disk, clean up, and optimize your registry with any registry tools you have, and try also to defragment your hard disk.

My computer caught a virus

Yes this is an unfortunate virus that has attacked your system at this time. you can clear all partitions and reinstall the entire operating system. this will bring back the OS but, you will lose all info that was stored in the partitioned drives. You can do this by inserting the xp or vista disk then, restart the system and before the dell bios flash gos away, hit f4 then, choose boot disk. this will start the reinstallation of the OS again.

Virus in the hard disk

Tapping F8 key during bootup, to go in Safe Mode. Login as administrator.
After getting upto desktop, run the Checkdisk command and run a complete system scan with your Antivirus. Let me know the status after this, I will further investigate and fix the problem.
