disk check

[Guest]

when i turn my pc on everytime it will run a disk check on drive d. this has
only just started happening since a update of xp was done a few weeks ago and
i have tried to see if it is a scheduled thing but it appears not to be. but
the thing is i can't defrag my drive as if i try it says that disk check is
in operation. can someone help stop this annoying little thing?

Have you allowed chkdsk to complete? Are there any problems shutting
down? How do you shutdown?

hi gerry, i have let chkdsk to complete at the start of windows but it still
checks the next time i turn the computer on! I have had a few problems when
shutting down but not very often and sometimes i get a blue screen just
appear and windows report sending says the issue is a driver but it does not
know which one. ( the blue screen is very rare). but it say
'DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' ??? Thanks for your time to reply steve

Can you find the Error Report in Event Viewer. A problem shutting down
can cause chkdsk to run when the computer is restarted.


Make an exact note of the precise text of any error message. Minor
discrepancies can
make it harder to search for information about the error message.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click
for further information and you can copy using copy and paste.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

In Event Viewer there is no facility to print Error Reports. A
workaround is copy and
paste the Error Report into an email, send it to yourself and print off
the copy in your
Inbox or your Sent Items folder.
