At a command prompt issue:

CHKNTFS /D

and see if things change.

Did you install the motherboard/chipset drivers?

Actually they didn't, but CHKNTFS was definitely the way to go

CHKNTFS c: d: e: f: g: h: j:

gave me the partitions that the system thought was changed
then I did a

chkdsk f: /R
chkdsk g: /R
etc.

on the drives that was mentioned and they disappeared from
the changed list and now the PC boots as normal.

Yes.

I didn't know about that CHKNTFS command. :-)

Thank You very much.
