Help
There's a problem with my pc where it says I have a problem with one of my hard drives and it runs a chkdsk check everytime I turn on my pc. Whilst running chkdsk, it stops at 93% and then stays like that for 5-10 mins and then brings me onto my desktop.
Also I have a problem with my anti-virus, could this be the problem?

Sure, you could have some major filesystem issues and/or the OS system files have gotten corrupted.
This could be caused by Windows simply barfing on itself causing the corruption or a sign of some hardware failure, such as the HD and/or the RAM.
I would first run a full chkdsk by opening up the propertied for you C: drive and click on Tools then Error Checking. Be sure to check both boxes for Automatically fix errors and Scan for and Attempt Recovery.
The program will say it needs to schedule a scandisk on the next startup, have it do this and then reboot the OS and watch for when that 93% scan comes into play. Which Pass is it on, there will be 5 different passes or checks, so if it's on the 3 of 5 passes then it's on the third check portion.

Good afternoon. If your AntiVirus program is Norton, then it is possible this could be the problem. Make sure your license is not expired and if not, then try un-installing and then re-installing Norton. Also you could try opening a DOS Window and typing Chekdisk /F. I know this is almost the same as runninf from the desktop but it just may make a difference. Good luck.

Thanks for the help, and hopefully I can re-install my anti-virus by tomorrow and see if it runs a scan without freezing my pc.
Also when it gets stuck on 93%, it says it's on stage 1 of 3. Does this mean anything?

Now windows can't copy all of the wpl files... I have the disk in there and it's a new Windows XP Media Center Edition.... It can't find the i386 folder. Shouldn't that file be on the new XP disk?
