checkdisk keeps runnig..?

[fleagle1]

Hi all,i installed xp pro as a clean install on my machine about a year ago and it runs perfectly. The only problem is that randomly,at boot up,it insists on runnig checkdisk,saying one of my disks needs checking.

I tend to hit any key to stop checkdisk and continue to boot and everything works fine.

It isnt setup to run in task scheduler or anything and there seems nothing wrong or no apparent reason for it to run.

I only have one HD and its about a year old. Is there any way i can stop this happening?
thanks

joe

You Receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" Message After Every Restart (Q317277)

The fix in this might work for Chkdsk.

Just let the system check the disc for errors.
The disk checking mechanism is being initiated by an entry in the File allocation table that instructs the OS to check the drive for errors. Once disk checking has been completed the flag is removed, and the disk will not be checked the next time you reboot.

To know if you've got a file system error, you can type the following command at the command prompt:

fsutil dirty query c: (replace c: with your drive letter)

If the response is that the volume is dirty, then a file system error has occurred, and Chkdsk should run automatically at startup to fix the errors, or you can run it yourself.
