Hi
I have an Compaq Presario V2030US laptop that I bought in 2005 running Windows XP Professional. It has been heavily upgraded over the years. After working reliably untill last spring it started having disk problems after a hard shutdown.
The system wanted to do a disk check every time it started up. It would say that there were 4 bad sectors. This X-mas I replaced the hard drive with a new one with similar specifications (having cloned the hard drive). The problem seemed to be gone temporarily!
The system started to want to disk check again. Having done several different Disk Check C, R, and surface scans using third party software there appears to be nothing wrong with my new hard drive (no bad sectors) I also used Nortons Disk Doctor. The problem still happens but less frequently (usually after a cold start of the system overnight. I can use the CMD prompt to disable disk check manually (and it says my disk is dirty when i inquire), but i am getting tired of it.
What else could be causing this if there is nothing physically wrong with my hard drive. All hardware memory and CPU tests are also normal as well as temperature and voltage? Could their be a software problem. Disk Check log below.

I would like to keep my old sysytem running, because ironically this XP sysytem can do stuff on my work network that a newer system running windows 7 can not.
Any suggestions would be helpful
