I would be very hesitant to rely on the accuracy of a disk-checking tool in a beta operating system. Of course, it is possible that your hard drive does have errors. I would check it with a diagnostic utility downloaded from the hard drive mftr.'s website instead. You will create a bootable CD with the file you download. I haven't examined Win7's burning capability yet so don't know if it can burn an .iso. If not, you'll need third-party software to burn as an image, not as data. Boot with the CD you made and do a thorough test of the drive. If it fails any physical tests, you should replace it.If the diagnostic utility doesn't show any errors, then try a new clean install of Win7 and see if you still get the notification. It's a beta test, after all. ;-) MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
