Check the SMART data of your drive first, and post here, would be helpful. You can find them in Disk Management tool under System menu.

Open Disk Utility, select your internal Hard Drive and then click "View Smart Data", there should be a status there "healthy" or "not-so-healthy" mentioned on top of a big list of items (depending on how old is the drive).

[s4sarath]

Yeah..i Just checked the status....

The disk is "healthy".

Sorry but the linked thread you provided talks about "total damages on a hard drive due to hardware failure", how are we supposed to help ? Are you sure you are having exactly the same situation ? Since your disk is "healthy", I think probably is not the same case... Can you describe better the "unexpected inconsistency"..? Some screenshot or explaining the symptoms in details may help as well.

[s4sarath]

yeah...exactly...

my problem is same as that mentioned in thread i have provided above......

[typhoon_tip]

Do you need to recover important data ?

[s4sarath]

there is not much data in there.
I am really concerned that, i have to run fsck check and command after every restart.
any possibilities dude?

[typhoon_tip]

This seems very weird, especially if the hard drive is healthy. Do you have another Hard Drive to test ? Moreover, have you set the HD Controller in SATA-AHCI mode in your BIOS settings ? I found that if the controller is left in "compatibility" mode, Ubuntu doesn't like this Windows-XP-compatibility-setting very much, and may behave weirdly (tested with 10.04 and 10.10).
