i have a WD 80GB harddrive and i partitioned it. one(C:)
partition is for windows and program installs, the other
(e:) is for all my files - music videos etc. Every time my
computer boots windows says one of my disks(E:) needs to
be checked for consistency. It checks then boots normally.
What does this mean and how do i get rid of it?

P.S delete the brackets if emailing back.
 
Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. Then type in:
chkntfs /x e: , and hit enter. Reboot your computer.

[This disables CHKDSK from running on drive E:]
