Re: "Checking file system on C."

This is probably not good, but what moved you to run chkdsk in the first place?

Figured it out. Ran Start\Accessories\and right-clicked on Command Prompt to run as an Administrator. Simple!

With chkdsk /r I received the following error message during "verifying indexes:" "an unspecified error occurred."

The system prevented me from running chkdsk or chkdsk /r -- "access denied; do not have sufficient privileges; must run in an elevated mode." I presume that this is equivalent to saying: administrator privileges required! This was a breeze in Windows 2000. I am the only user, and I was under the impression that I have administrator privileges. What do I need to change to run these routines?

However, I went the F12 route and ran the Diagnostics/System Tree/Hard Drive Errors analysis. There were ten tests that lasted several hours. All received a "Pass" rating.

I'm not sure where this leaves me!

To run the chkdsk /r open a command prompt first and type it there. Say Y (yes) to let it run on restart and then reboot.

Alternatively, use the built in Dell diagnostics. Press F12 on startup to get to the Dell boot menu and select diagnostics from there. If there is a drive problem, Dell will want the error code reported by their diagnostics when you contact them for service.

And - No. It does not make any sense at all to reformat your drive and reinstall Windows without checking the drive integrity.

When I attempt to execute chkdsk /r, a black screen pops up momentarily and then immediately disappears.

In looking at logs under Event Viewer, there shows repeated application errors going way back pertaining to Perflib, and, occasionally, WMI. I also show Warnings under User Profile Services, where my "registry file is still in use by other applications...", but these also go way back.

If there is the possibility of a disk failure, does one want to format and reload the operating system on the same hard drive? Or, does the failure have nothing to do with the performance attributes of the drive itself?

The laptop is still under a Dell warranty, but maybe that's a slow route for repair, never having used it.

I am running Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on my laptop. All of a sudden, at boot I started receiving the above message, followed by:

"One of your disks may need to be checked for consistency." Then, CHKDSK proceeds to verify the files, and the boot completes. This routine now occurs each time that I boot the machine. I don't seem to have a problem that I can detect. How does one get this message to be bypassed, assuming that there is no problem?
