Is my disk issue a bad sector or a corrupt Windows installation?

Hi All,

My XP computer has repeatedly reported "minor inconsistencies on the C drive" every time that I run a Check Disk (as per the illustration below) -



Is the issue that I am seeing specific to a damaged hard drive (e.g.: bad sectors), or a corrupt Windows installation?

Any advice here will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

David

If the hard drive is getting old and having problems it might be a good idea to replace it before it goes completely. anything you dont want to lose should be saved to a cd/dvd or an external hard drive so it isnt lost forever.if theres any bad sectors in a hard drive its just a matter of time before they all go bad. you cant fix a hard drive just replace it.
