Check disk problem

[87IROC Z]

Strange problem on my dads machine i recently built for him. All of a sudden every single time he starts it up, windows xp says that the hard drive needs to be checked for consistency and so on. And to run checkdisk. Its an 80gb western digital. No matter what i do this always comes up everytime he turns on the machine. Any ideas?

If you search on Microsoft's Knowledge Base, there is a fix for this. Someone recently posted it, but since our search isn't working, it wouldn't be easy to find.

Thanks for the link. He doesnt have an HP scanner but he does have a scanner. I think its microtek. Ill still give that a try anyways. Hopefully thats it.
