How to remove checkdisk?

[ras2cal]

Everytime 2000 boots, chkdsk is run. Does anyone know how to disable this feature??
Thank you

Shirley dude:

That means an error was detected and the system has decided to check for integrity. You'd be better off trying to find and fix the error.

The system may be trying to reconcile conflicting information about the disk(s) - I would run a few disk utilities to see if they can identify the error.

It may be the File Allocation Table is screwed up (bookkeeping info on file locations) in which case a serious defrag is in order. The best defrag on the market is made by O&O Software.

Its not an error. Its a feature of Windows 2000. Whenever you start the system, while loading, one of the reasons it takes so long is because it is running checkdisk EVERY time... I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn this feature off??
Thanks

You can take the "MSconfig" file from a win98 compuetr and run it under 2000 , it will tell you it's not the right version but ignore that .
One of the option is to disable the scan.

try running chkntfs /d from a command prompt. this may resolve your issue.

Think your drive may be marked as 'dirty' (that would cause chkdsk to run - but don't know why its not either fixing problem & clearing dirty marker or flagging the problem) - if you run chkntfs x: (where x is drive letter) with no other parameters it should tell you.
