Disk Check on Bootup

I get this message everytime I boot my laptop. "One of your disks needs to
be checked for consistancy." I have a HP laptop and am using Vista. I have
called HP support at least 5 time and they have had

Personally I would replace the hard drive if there is important information
or your work is time critical. It's likely to be faulty.

I should have said that I have done the quick and full test on the hard drive
and both passed so it seems that the drives are ok.

Try this reg fix:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Session Manager"
Change the BootExecute value (by double clicking) from "autocheck
autochk *" to "autocheck autochk /k:c" (without the "")

Those utilities aren't worth the paper they're not written on.

HDD's are notoriously fickle and faults intrinsincally intermittent.
Save your data and put it on a new drive.
