chkdsk runs everytime on boot up

[Guest]

While in the middle of downloading a file from the internet my PC became
unplugged. Since then, everytime I boot my system it runs the chkdsk command
on one of my partitiions. It always passes the chkdsk command succesfully but
for some reason it will not set the drive from 'dirty' to 'clean'. Hence each
time it runs the chkdsk command on boot.

I could of lived with this, but is this is now stopping my defragger tool
from running.

Does anyone know how to set the drive status back to clean to stop the
chkdsk utility from running?

Chkdsk does not correct errors without the /F parameter. Go to Run, type
CHKDSK /F and say yes to run at next boot. Then reboot and let it run and
fix the errors. (note the space before the /F)

Thanks for your reply Mary.

Unfortunetly I ran the CHKDSK /F and reboted (twice) but each time my system
ran a first chkdsk...rebooted... then ran a second chkdsk. All to no avail,
my drive is still dirty and the system still run the chkdsk on reboot.

Mary thank you again, it was my fault for not specifying my drive !!!!!!
Once I'd done that evrything worked fine again.

Thank you very much for your patience with a fool.
