Hi.

Bought a new computer - no OS as I had my own Win2K cd.
Install went well - partitioning, formatting, and install.

However, as I load/install various apps (e.g., autoCAD or
MS Office), when I'm asked to reboot (restart) the system,
CHKDSK runs saying that the disk needs to be checked for
consistency. A couple of times, entire folders were lost
(and then found after CHKDSK finished).

I believe all my hardware is W2K compatible: ASUS P4P800
MB, WD 160GIG hd, Intel P4 3.0 processor, 512 MB DDR RAM.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Pete Bedard.

If you can identify hd, look on hd manu.site for a disk checking utility
