Chkdsk on boot all the time!

[Guest]

When my PC is rebooted -it always does a 'CheckDisk' on a specific drive
There is no scheduler running and have not specified it to run chkdsk on boot

Also when I do error checking on a drive (Properties/Tools/Error-checking) it prompts an error message

"The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be accessed only by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule this check to occur the next time you restart the computer?

I specified 'yes' - then boot, does the checkdisk OK - however when the machine is turned off/on, it still does a checkdisk on boot!
Am I making any sense?

Try to run "chkdsk /r" using recovery console. Maybe drive has bad
sectors and it'll be down soon - make data backup.
