CHKDSK ERROR?

[Komboloi]

I am experiencing a problem with a partition in one of my hard drives, where
each time I boot up it does a CHKDSK, finds no errors or bad sectors and yet
next I reboot it still does a CHKDSK. HELP! What is going on here? This is
in XP Pro.
Thanks!

OK, I'll give it a whirl and see what happens! Thanks for such a fast
response though! I guess I am not the only insomniac!

Well I am not having luck right now. I just rebooted it and the damn thing
is still doing CHKDSK.
Then this string is not found in my registry "SFCScan",
Instead I was able to find SFCDisable and SfcQuota. Sooooooooo, I'll have to
go through your series of suggestions now. All the other partitions are not
dirty except the one I am having a problem with.
In the event I have to do something as a last resort, remove all my files
and then reformat that partition, will that work? I don't want to do that
since it will be tedious and it's 40 gigs of stuff! Fortunately it's a
partition that's on a drive that's not part of the OS!

The way I know I am not have luck is when I go into diskeeper and attempt to
analyze that partition and then a window pops up telling me that it cannot
analyze/defragment since this partition needs to be CHKDSKed first.
I have saved my registry in a folder. If I implent your diable chkdsk which
messes around with the registry do you think it'll do harm? In the sense
that say down the line one of the partitions is "dirty" [BTW what does dirty
mean in this case?] that this registry file will prevent from fixing a
"dirty" partition?

Hey man,
Listen some other guy suggested the following and I am fearing this might be the case since I even used that registry patch to stop the CHKDSK, but when I go to the diskeeper to get it to analyze it's still telling me the OS will do a CHKDSK and will not analyze/defragment until CHKDSK is completed.
"This could be a fault with the electronics module on the drive and not the
recording surface.

Once a system performs CHKDSK regularly it is a sign that the HDD is in need
of replacement."

I ended up using SeaTools and the error I got was om the File Structure
test: FAILED WITH CRITICAL ERRORS.
Before I started doing these daignostic tests someone told me the
possibility of a HDD physical problem and to save my data.
I am saving my data and thinking to scrub it once instead of DoD 7x. That
should be OK, right? The HDD is 160 gigs and it will take days to do it
DoD!
Thanks!
