Computer problems.

Guys !!!

Ok, heres one to maybe stump you all.

I dont know when it started, but almost exactly after a week or so of me using this machine, it comes up with a

The File or Directory C: is corrupt and unreadable. Please Run the Chkdsk Utility.

error.

I always try and run checkdisk, but then it comes up with the exact same error trying to load Checkdisk.

I end up formatting, and reloading everything, and then almost exactly, the same thing happens in a week or just under. (its been 6 days now i think since the last time)

Anyway, this happens at different times. Once it happend when i was playing World OF Warcraft. Once it happend trying to load on my DVD Rom Burning Software. Once it happend trying to load an AVI file.

Anyone know what this is? why it keeps doing it or how to stop it?

Stats are 3.0Ghz processor, 2,048mb ram, Windows 2000 (though it happended with Win XP also)


Thanks a bunch for your help guys !

 

how old is your system? sounds like a bad harddrive check in the drive utilities on this web site for a harddrive program to check the status of your drive. you may have a bad sector on your drive and every time this sector is acessed you have this problem, could explain why it happens periodically.

 

It's about a year and a half old now. It's running a Quantum 200gb hard drive. The last time this happened, I restarted and I got a "No operating system" error in DOS. What would you recommend for that? I haven't rebooted my computer yet but I can't open really anything without errors saying I'm not allowed to popping up.
