Check Disk Always Wants To Run on startup

[wfs]

Hi All,

whenever I start my computer, it tells me it needs to run check disk on
Drive D.

I've run check disk on this drive several times to no effect. (it issues
no warning messages), it still tells me I need to run check disk on every
start-up.

Any idea's.

Thanks

Nill

Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..

Go to MVP Kelly Theriot's website here:

and click on "C". Scroll down to "Check Disk - Disk Checking Runs Upon
Boot.

Hi,
I ran the Seagate diagnostics (about 2 hours) and it told me the disks
were ok physically, but had file system errors. It said to run the OS check
utility on the file system , but that showns no file system errors.

Hi All,

I've scheduled 'checkdisk' via the gui several times, with all options
checked (to repair errors etc) but to no effect.

chkntfs still tells me the drive is 'dirty....'

I'll try scheuling it via the command line.

Thanks

Hi All,

running scheduling check disk from the command line appears to have
fixed the problem ???

Or maybe just running it 3 or 4 times fixed it....

Did you look in event viewer, application, winlogon entries for the
chkdsk results?

The Samsung link below is no longer functional.

Checking the Samsung FAQ turned up a referal to "data Advisor" but that
utility info says is only works for FAT.

Any other suggestions for a Samsung disk? (like mine)

Very interesting. Thanx for pointing that out.

I am researching answer.

OK, please post here any new info you discover as I am having a "minor
inconsistency" that I can't seem to clear up.
