disk check on start up - please help

[mizterbusy]

Hi,

I have a problem.

Every time I start up my PC it wants to do a disk check which takes
ages to run through.

Even if I let it go through the disk check, the next time I start up,
it wants to do another disk check even though I do a proper shut down.

I know you can cancel the disk check by hitting space but this is a
nuisance.

Is there a way to overcome this problem or disable automatic disk
checking?

Thanks a heap.

As a precautionary step, it would be wise to do a complete
check of the computer system, starting with an anti-virus,
anti-spyware and anti-adware sweep. If no malware exists,
then run diagnostics on the hard drive, using software from
the manufacturer's website. From all of this, something might
turn up.

Make sure you have a full and compleatei backup of all all important data on
the drive. Then download a drive diagnotic utility from the hard drive
manufacturer's web site. That will create a bootable floppy or CD. Boot
from that and run the diagnostics. Post back with the results.
