Default Startup problems

Thankyou all for your advice.
After my last post, my pc started behaving itself, booting with no
problems for 3 days.

The pc contains 2 hdd, 1 Tb partitioned as PQSERVICE 12 Gb, SYSTEM
RESERVED 100 Mb, C: (o/s partition) 459.45Gb and D: 459.96Gb.
The second hdd is E:, 1863 Gb.

After the 3 days, for 2 days, when I started up I received a message
that the E: drive needed checking for consistency. The check was done
with no errors. After this on both days the pc booted successfully and
I had no problems.
Then when I tried to access the disk, although it was shown in File
Manager, I received that the disk was corrupt or not accessible. Again
this seemed to clear itself the next day and I have had no prolems
with the disk since.
This mornng I again received the message that the hdd needed checking,
again there were no errors and the pc booted successfully.

Can I assume that the hdd is on its way out and needs replacing ?
Could this be the cause of my earlier problem ?


Try disabling the E drive, reboot, see what happens. If it's okay, carry
on for a few days.

If all works error-free, you'll have nailed your problem. After that
it'll be a question of finding out what's wrong with the E drive. Badly
installed? Drivers corrupt? Sectors dying? Let us know, and we'll guide
you through.
