back up questions

Everyday my computer does a disk consistency check and then repeats itself. I can boot up windows 7 simply by hitting any key.

HD is 1 year old.

Is there anything to be concerned about?

Likely not.

Assuming the drive being checked is the C volume...

Open command prompt with admin privileges and run:
fsutil dirty query c:

IF it reports that the drive is "dirty", do the following:
1. chkntfs /x c:
2. Reboot.
3. Open command prompt with admin privileges.
4. chkdsk /f /r c:
5. fsutil dirty query c:

Step #4 may take hours.

Report results.
