Hello,
Perhaps someone can help me with this. I recently started having weird things happen to my computer, and every few days when I would turn it on, it would do an automatic disk check for inconsistencies on the hard drive/s. Inevitably it would find bad clusters in various files, and 'fix' them. The last time it did this, when it rebooted, it stopped after a message saying something like, "Fixed Disk 1: (and some numbers) "Fixed Disk 0: (numbers)" Then it lists the CD-ROM drives and says, "Hit <Del> to continue". I can hit the delete key and then it will continue to boot up and everything seems fine. But basically it won't fully boot now unless I hit the delete key. I also don't know yet if the bad clusters problem will continue to appear.
Possibly related to all of this is that I also just found out I had two worm viruses. I was able to remove/fix both of these (today), but the reboot issue is still there.
Any ideas how to get it back to booting normally?
Thanks!
