Whenever I turn it on, a blue screen with "checking file inconsistency in C drive" or something like that, and it gives me about 10 seconds to press any key to skip the disk scan. And it also says something about "Fat32"... whatever that is.
Not only does this screen come up when I restart, but every time I insert a CD/DVD/CD-R/CD-RW into the drive, the computer will restart and the same screen comes up.
I let the scan run all the way through one time and it got to showing the desktop and the windows starting music, and then it restarted itself and the whole process over again. It was an endless cycle until I "pressed any key to skip the disk scan", and then it let me use the computer as normal.
Anyone ever have this problem or have a solution? Thanks so much!

At this point, the first thing you should try is to run a disk utility program like Spinrite ($60). It's by far the best on the market (by Steve Gibson) and highly recommended. Do a bit of research on it on the website, and if you want, google it and you'll see tons of positive comments and reviews.
Contact me for more information if you want some more information on "trying" it.

You could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To:
start
programs
accessories
systems tools
system restore
This process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
