Hi Al,
The reason this happens may be because of corrupted files, improper
shutdown or if set as scheduled task.
Some user friendly explanations are found here:

Official Microsoft links -quite in depth,but usually too complicated for
average computer user.

I'm running XPpro sp2 with an 80Gb IDE partitioned C -20, D -27, & E
-27GB. On startup
I get a message that one of my drives ( D ) has inconsistincies & must
run Chkdsk ?
It goes through so fast that I can not find out what is wrong. I tried
searching C drive for
Chkdsk, but it's not there! How can I run it so that I can read it? D
has my documents &
I have Migrate Easy which will completely transfer everything to a new
drive including partitions. Any suggestions as to my best move?
Thankyou,
Al Smith
