Hi

I am not sure this is the correct NG, but I don't know where else to post.
I am using XP SP2 on a PC with 1.4 P4 CPU with 784 Meg RAM.
I have 1 x 40 Gig and 1 x 80 Gig hard drives.
Yesterday when I turned the PC on I got a message that Windows
was about to run a consistency check.
The check started, all I could see was lines of text running up the screen
too fast to read. After two hours I shut the PC down, then restarted it and
the same thing happened, resulting in another consistency check.
The consistency check has now been running for 14 hours.

Can anyone please tell me what is going on?

thanks

Sounds a bit suspicious. Open Task Manager (<CTRL><ALT><DEL>) and see what
application/process is running. Then Google on that process name.

Do you have any external disks? See
