Every time that I bootup after installing SP2 (successfully) my computer
insists on checking a drive for consistency. There are only about 20MB of
files on the drive which is a 30GB partition.

Is there any way, apart from manually stopping the procedure within the
first 10 seconds, by which I can edit out the instruction to do the checks.
It has been defragged and I have run chkdsk /f a few times.

TIA

Try looking in start-up files(guess) start-run-type
msconfig click or folder sart-up and look thu them or
disable them reboot---if it there again--good luck go back
in and able start up files.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I can see nothing in Startup that looks as though it starts consistency
checking.
