Chkdsc on startup

[Guest]

every time I startup my desktop it runs a chkdsc and says this:

Checking file system on C:
the type of the file system is FAT32.

One of your disks needs to be checked fo consistency. you may cancel the
diskcheck, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
Windows will now check the disk.
volume serial number is 1077-0efb
windows is verifying files and folders...
\windows\lastgood.tmp is cross-linked on allocation unit 327904.
folder truncated.
\windows\dumpc985.tmp is cross-linked on a llocation unit 296361.
cross link resolved by copying.
\windows\tasks\sa.dat first allocation unit is not valid. the entry will be
truncated.
file and folder verification is complete.
convert lost chains to files (Y\N)? yes
640 kb in 6 recovered files.
windows is verifying free space...

it does this after every reboot. if you skip it the comupter reboots after
about 2 minutes. can anyone help me or at least offer some advice? Thanks

Hi,

Click start/run, type cmd and click ok. From the prompt, run chkntfs /d,
this should stop the checkdisk on every boot.

Rick's fix may work, but I haven't had much luck with it in resolving this
problem. If that doesn't work, see

Also, try running chkdsk /r to scan for bad sectors.
Unfortunately, there are rare disk errors on NTFS drives that chkdsk is
incapable of repairing. I've run into several cases where I ultimately had
to back up the client's drive, reformat, and restore.

I think the chkntfs command is for NTFS file systems only, yours stated
FAT32. I think I would be tempted to delete the files and run the chkdsk
command again, if you don't feel brave enough for that (they look like temp
files to me) then try backing them up into a zip file before deleting the
original.

see how you go on.
