Dear Daniweb:

Every time I start up my laptop (ACER Aspire 1644WLMi running on Windows XP2) I get a blue screen advising me that my C disk is being checked. The end result of the analysis is (usually) OK, but I cannot figure out why it is doing this at all. Sometimes I get messages on the blue screen to the effect that "Mozilla Firefox has been truncated" & I have to re-install Firefox and the folders placed on it.

I am attaching a HJT log. Perhaps you can see something on it that is causing the problem?

Thanks.

Terry.

Colin is correct , i thought they were another something else

AVG System Areas test shows the boot sector of disc C with a yellow exclamation mark next to it. AVG asks whether it wants this changing. Whether my reply is yes or no I still get a blue screen. How do I repair this boot sector & stop blue screens on boot-up?

What file system is C:/ disc using? If FAT, this is one of the disadvantages. Use NTFS instead. Kudos.
