Computer Specs:

-Windows XP SP2 2002
-AMD Athlon 64 Processor
-384 MB of RAM (it was supposed to be 512 but thats what it says)
-I have one have drive, split in two (dont know how to say it)
-Im currently using Kaspersky Antivirus

It all started because my pc started crashing with small amounts of work , it worried me cause i dont have many files, and i havent installed a LOT of software. That's why i wanted to defrag both C: and E:, defragmented C and when i tried to do the other one a message popped up, it was someting like this:
"The disk defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is programmed to be executed on volume E:
Run Chkdsk /f"

And so i did, when chkdsk window CAME up it asked me if i wanted to run chkdsk next time i turn on my computer, i said yes because i thought that after that i would be able to run the defragmenter . But now everytime i start windows this thing similar to old scandisk comes up and starts looking for errors in my hard drive . I already went to chkdsk /f and told it to stop....it wont. Keeps coming up, and the defragmenter wont defrag the unit because the same message keeps showing up .... whats wrong?Hard drive may be failing. When chkdsk runs, does it ever finish?

- 384 RAM - You are using 'onboard' video that uses 128 MB of system RAM. The RAM that is being used by the video won't show up because the system can't use it. But, the computer has 512 MB of physical RAM - 128 + 384 = 512.

- One physical drive; two logical drives.

Won't HELP your problem, but - FYI!
