I have an acer aspire 3000 running xp.

Recently my laptop would freeze up and on reboot it would do the disk check and that would be that. A couple days ago it froze and upon disk check it wouldn't let me skip it (i was in a hurry) and then it would just hang at 0% for over 2 or 3 minutes. So I'd try and reboot only to run into the same problem.

Yesterday i tried I again. I woke up and turned the laptop on. Again, disk check hangs at zero. I forgot about it and went to work on my desktop. When I return maybe half an hour later i seen it was on maybe 5% or so. I let the laptop complete the disk check, taking a total of around 6 hours.

After that I try to load up windows and I while entering my password the machine would slow up then freeze completely. This happened a couple times I tried. Eventually I tried to load into safe mode and shockingly enough, it works fine in safe mode.

I was thinking on reinstalling windows or getting a new hard drive or maybe some memory. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
