For some reason, even if i shutdown my computer properly, the disks are
scanned everytime on startup ? Can anyone tell me whats the problem is ? Its
saying that windows wasnt shutdown properly, but it does.
 
Hi,

Click start/run, type cmd and click ok. From the prompt, run:

chkntfs /d

And hit <enter>, this will clear the dirty bit that causes chkdsk to run at
boot. If it happens again after doing this, you may have a timing issue with
one of the disk controllers or hard drive. There is also this, which happens
if certain scanners are/were attached to the system:

Tried chkntfs /d but still not solving the problem, and my PC doesnt have
printer or scanner.
