I just bought and installed a new records tracking program so I can organize my genealogy notes. I started it up again just now and for the second time this week it gave an error message of "one of your disks needs to be checked" and went through about five minutes of some sort of rigmarole before starting up. Once running it seems to work fine. I hardly ever go online with the laptop and haven't done for quite some time, so I don't think it's a virus. Do these error messages mean my hard disk is on its last legs or could it be a problem with the new software? The computer is several years old but little-used. It's a lease-return that I bought at the Dell online outlet store.
