Blackout

Almost every time I use Nero Express with Audacity my computer shuts down with a message that one of my disks is inconsistant and has to be checked (c disk FAT 32) What does this mean exactly and is it a costly job to repair? Thanks!!!

what O/s and version
how much ram
how big drive / how much free space

first install
http://www.ccleaner.com/download
and have a bit of a cleanout

have you checked the disk with windows error checking tool or commandline chkdsk?
if not .... do

then do a defrag

try it out
come back and let us know

Thanks AC,I have downloaded CCleaner and used it also defragged and chkdsk.The drive is 73GB of which I still have 66% freespace and 736 RAM.What do you mean by O/s and version? As I said in my e-mail it blacksout NEARLY every time.I've tried burning some music using Audacity and Nero just the once now with no problem I'll just have to see if it's solved. Thanks again

Os=Oprerating system - or which version of windows

generally this sort of activity gives your machine a fair amount of stick - if there is a weakness that's when this happens

I think (hope) that should do the trick

Does this change your mind about it doing the trick?
