Disk checked at every boot

[Mark M]

Hi Folks

I am running Windows XP Professional, service packed to
the latest revision. I ran a defrag on my D drive recently
(I have two 40Gb drives installed) and ever since, XP
wants to do a check disk every time I start the machine.
It never finds a problem and subsequent defrags show no
problems or errors reported. How do I switch this flag off?

Thank
Mark

Run Checkdisk with the fix file system errors box ticked. It just puts
you in an endless loop like you are in now at start up unless you fix the
file system errors. Have you tried that?
Or, If using NTFS try this At the command prompt (Run: command), type
CHKNTFS /X C:
Or, If that doesnt work check this out.
You can remove scheduled ChkDsk's by removing entries from this reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager, in
the
BootExecute Key if no scans are scheduled it should mostlikely just
read
autocheck autochk* , If scans are scheduled there will be extra
commands.
Delete everything so it just reads autocheck autochk*. Compliments
