Checking an HPFS/NTFS file system

[Joel Hammer]

I tried that fix. I disabled my linux drive in device manager. But,
the problem persists.

I guess a good question should be: How fast a hard drive and how fast
a cpu do you need to run xp pro? I have a 1.1 gh Duron and an old
hard drive.  Maybe I just have cheap, old hardware.
