Used a check utility for my hard drive. the program was seagate tools
for the hard drive and it came up with no errors and pass the hard
drive.

So is there any other ways to find out the what would cause the chkdsk
in vista to detect errors in the file system when the chkdsk in other
areas (ie from installation disk) would say that there is no errors in
the file system?

The manufacturers program is looking for physical defects.

chkdsk looks at the logics of the information stored upon the disk, as well
as for physical defects.

You likely have suffered from logical corruption. If it is very severe, you
may want to consider wiping the system and starting over.

How severe would it have be to on vista?

As far as i can see everything seems to be working in vista. I have
had no problems with my system. Every program works fine, eg cinema 4d,
windows media player, windows update etc.

The only problem i had was a 3D graphics card which caused the computer
to freeze. But i have realised that it was my fault as i bought the
wrong graphics card without checking to see if my motherboard could
handle it.

It seems strange that chkdsk states it ok before vista is booted and
not in the command prompt.

It is possible to re-install vista over the existing system?
