Error on restart for Insipiron One all in one
Every time I restart my Inspiron One all in one I get an error message and black screen about needing to check files and if I touch any key in 10 seconds it will skip this process.Which doesn't stop it. Sometimes I've needed to restart many times. Why is this happening?

Hi Tltl1,
It's likely your hard drive is having problems, and I would suggest you test it using the Dell diagnostics. To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:
1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.
2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.
3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.
5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.
6. Select Test System.
7. Select Custom Test.
7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.
9. Click Run Tests.
10. Write down any error messages.

On a computer that is running Windows 7, you use the Chkdsk.exe program to schedule a disk check during the next system startup. However, the disk check does not start correctly. Specifically, you may experience one of the following issues the next time that you start the computer:
Running Hardisk Diagnostics wont detect any errors with the Hardisk, as it’s an OS issue.
This is a problem in the Microsoft products mainly with systems equipped with infrared devices.
