Consistency Scan? What does it mean when your computer scans a drive for "consistency?" When I turned on my computer today it went into this scan and said it was recommended, so I let it run. What is this scan for/do? | My System Specs |

That screen print shows a Windows Disk Check.
What do you mean by "except the results were different"?
Did any errors get reported for you on the Disk Check?
If you get no errors reported, that's good.
I'd re-boot to make sure something is not causing a Disk Check to run every time you re-boot. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number home built OS Win 7 Pro x64 SP1, Win 7 Ult x86 SP1 CPU AMD Athlon II x4 620 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H Memory 6GB GSkill DDR2 800 Graphics Card AMD 4670 GPU + AMD 4200 IGP Sound Card on board Realtek ALC889A Monitor(s) Displays RCA 40" LCD TV, Insignia 32" LCD TV, HP 15" LCD monitor Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050...
