Check Disk WinXP Bug?
I have two relatively new notebooks with WinXP SP-1 on one and WinXP SP-2 on
the other(both Home Editions). All critical updates are current for each SP version. Every time I run Check Disk after NORMAL shutdowns or restarts, I get the same Winlogon Event ID 1001 on both with a list of errors fixed under the category of "Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive". Is this a bug in XP? Do you see the same thing on yours? Anyone have a fix? |

Check Disk WinXP Bug?
Thanks Shenan. Your reference to KB831374 is precisely what I see in my error
summary. My drivers are up-to-date. I think it's interesting (and disappointing) that when I tried to search the Microsoft WinXP Knowledge Base with just a fragment of my error message above, it found no references. But with Google as you suggested, the entire exact phrase match finds KB831374. I think Microsoft should sub-contract Google for their internal search engine. KB831374 notes even SP-2 may not fix this bug, as in my case, and there is no other hotfix as of yet for WindowsXP as I read this KB article.
