New motherboard, CheckDisk every startup

[Asger-P]

Hi

I had to replace my motherboard, fortunately I got
one that was almost the same as the one i had, so
I didn't had to reinstall, but now XP wants to do
check disk at every startup on 4 of my partitions.

Is there a way that I can stop XP from doing that ?

p.s. the first time I did let XP do the check disk
all the way.


Thanks in advance
Best regards

You might need to do a repair install, see:

Which partition/drive does it want to check? What were the results, any
bad sectors? Make a backup of all personal files and data and check to
make sure that the drive cable is connected firmly at both ends.

I'll second that recommendation.
From the article:

"Chkdsk Runs Each Time That You Start Your Computer"

One cause cited is a corrupted registry. Pulling the
hardware/motherboard out from under the OS and replacing it could
easily look like a corrupted registry to the OS. A Repair Install
should fix that.

HTH,
John

Thanks for Your replies, but I would very much like to avoid
a repair install, it always mess up every thing..
And in this case there is absolutely nothing wrong with my PC,
except for the check disk at startup, every thing works fine.

Last time I did a repair install it took almost to days before
everything was back to normal and at average I reboot once a
week, so I thing I will live with the check disk if there is
no other way then a repair install.


There must be a place where XP store the result of the
check disk, where it checks if its needed or not.

Thanks again

Hi Nina

Thanks for Your reply.

Which partition/drive does it want to check?

Only first disk, which contains C, D, E, F, G and H, but
it only want to check G, F, D and H in that order

p.s. I have 4 internal disks and one extern usb

What were the results, any bad sectors?

No everything is OK.

Make a backup of all personal files and data and check to make sure that
the drive cable is connected firmly at both ends.

It must be, as everything is working as it should and XP dont
want to check the C partition


Thanks again.

At a command prompt issue:

CHKNTFS /D

and see if things change.

Did you install the motherboard/chipset drivers?

Actually they didn't, but CHKNTFS was definitely the way to go

CHKNTFS c: d: e: f: g: h: j:

gave me the partitions that the system thought was changed
then I did a

chkdsk f: /R
chkdsk g: /R
etc.

on the drives that was mentioned and they disappeared from
the changed list and now the PC boots as normal.

Yes.

I didn't know about that CHKNTFS command.

Thank You very much.
