My hdd is divided into C: & E: partitions with D: been the DVD RW. Apart from
the folders that I created in E: also, there are RECYCLER folder and System
Volume Information. Getting very annoyed that it always starts to chkdsk E:
upon reboot.

There is no schedule to run the chkdsk and I just dont know how to stop it
from checking each time when we boot. Comptemplating to reformat E; but do
not know whether its safe to do so because of the presence of RECYCLER/SVI
folders. Anyone can advice and with thanks

Thier is a older fix for that:kb831426
Also,one could open device mgr,expand the dvdrw tree,R.click,select disable,
close out,open diskmgmt.msc L.click on E: Go to options,all,change drive
letter/path,change E: to D:,close out,restart pc.

Change the drive lettering from E>D and the DVD RW from D>E but there is no
effect. It will now scan D upon reboot which I allow the scan to complete.

As for the oither solutuion, a bit concern when dealing with cpu. Can you
tell me what to delete in our history. Thanks

The drive letter has nothing to do with this problem, changing the
letter assignment changes nothing. The chkdsk is being run on startup
because there is an entry at the BootExecute registry value telling the
operating system to check the drive or because the file system is
detecting errors on the drive and it is setting the "Dirty Bit" on the
drive. Use chkntfs /d to set default settings on the drives and then
run a chkdsk /r on the drive.

I don't know what you mean by that, what other solution are you talking
of and what history are you reffering to?
