If you're using FAT32 and win2k/XP you'd be best off converting it to NTFS (use "convert" on the command line). Check the FAQs, there is one about FAT32 vs. NTFS.

He was quite clear he was running NTFS. The 'boot up' scandisk is there just like for fat volumes...

I don't think it is clear that he/she's using NTFS. Just because "the guy who sold me the PC" says it's a problem with NTFS doesn't mean it is. "The guy" might just be some kid working at compUSA who doesn't really know what he's talking about.
Than that "guy" is either a moron, or he just wanted to brush you off, however my money is on him being a moron.Originally posted by: PsychoPif
I have constant problem with my HD, 1/2 the time i boot my PC, I get a forced scandisk, with many error found.
I asked the guy who sold me the PC and he said it was because of the NTFS file system.
Yes, by the time your done I'll bet you'll know more than he does!Originally posted by: Dreadogg
I bet he is just stearing you in the wrong direction! If you just got the PC why dont you just reinstall everything and start fresh?
2k will run a file check on NTFS if it detects a registry problem...
