    Computer needs to be checked for consistancy... is the drive failing?


    I have never had such a big problem when I check my disk. Should I be worried?
    Here is the log:
    Checking file system on C:
    The type of the file system is NTFS.


    One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
    may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
    that you continue.
    Windows will now check the disk.

    CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...

    Wow! That log file looks pretty bad!
    The first thing to do is to ensure that you have everything backed up. If you don't, do it now! There's no telling where this will go/end up - so you don't want to lose your data!

    CHKDSK checks the NTFS file system on the hard drive. If it finds errors, it'll fix them if you use the proper commands (and will automatically fix problems at times).

    In most cases this doesn't cause any problems. But with the amount of stuff going on in your NTFS file system it's likely to cause some issues (programs not working correctly, odd behaviors, etc)

    If it's only a problem with the NTFS file system, then the problems shouldn't be there the next time that you run CHKDSK.

    But if they do return, then you have to wonder what's causing them. The first thing to do in that case is to run one of these free hard drive diagnostics: Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure This will tell you if the hard drive is dead/dying.

    Please post back with the results of what you've done and we'll see about moving on from there.

    It happened only one time. I checked this disk again there was no problems and the computer is running smoothly. No program freezes, no crashes, no BSODs, but I am concerned about what may cause that large of a corruption. Never had I shut down improperly and I took good care of the drive.

    Still run the hard drive diagnostic program listed here (it's free): Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure
    You never know until you've seen the results of the test (and it's also the start for trying to figure out why this happened).
