| How to stop Disk Error cheching in Windows 2000?
Hi,
I have re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed Win2K. The system is running OK. But when I re-start the machine, everytime it compalins that one of the disks needs to be cheked for consistency. If I continue doing "Disk Error Checking", it stops at 85% (I think just hanging the machine).
My question is a) How to comeover this? b) How to avoid doing this?
I am just fine if I don't do it. But everytime, I have click some key to pass on this process...

To correct RAM problems is to buy new RAM. However, it sounds like you are running FAT32 partitions. If you are convert them to NTFS.

No, I did not convert to NTFS. I just reformatted my hard drive (no partitions, just C Drive) as FAT32. I re-installed Win2K.
Another thing I did was.....initially I was not able to format my hard drive with my oroiginal Win2K CD (says Hard drive is corrupted). But I was able to re-format using Win ME CD (This is original OS that I had with the system)....So after formatting with win Me CD...re-installed Win 2K....Does this causes RAM issue??? | |

See if you can download a ram testing utility. The inconsistency you are getting has ram problems written all over it.
You could also try to see if scan disk will finish in "safe mode", and if so maybe you'll be ok. (F8 while booting).
What are your system specs?
