    My system setup:

    AMD 64 3200+ (skt 939)
    ASUS A8V-VM SE
    1GB DDR RAM
    XFX GeForce 6600 Vanilla PCIE (256 MB)
    Windows XP Pro SP2

    I don't know what I did.. ( I reset the CMOS battery on my mobo..)
    After around one minute from booting into XP , my system freezes..
    What could be the issue ??
    And the next time, on startup, Scandisk comes and stops at 6% in one of my drives (bad sectors?? )
    Seems, I'm seriously messed up .. :eek:

    Why did you reset the battery?
    Was the pc running OK before doing this?

    Will try,
    but since the Scandisk hangs I'm suspecting the HDD could be faulty..

    A possibility - download the disk diagnostics from the drive manufacturer and run them. They generally run at boot from a floppy or CD.

    Scandisk (chkdsk) might not be "hanging ", it might be trying to repair that part of the drive. Try letting it run overnight. If it has moved to 7,8,9% -> it might be still in the process of repair, let it keep running.

    If it is carrying out major repairs, consider that the HDD may be failing and back up your data.
