Unable to access hard disc with NTFS

[Julian]

I'm have 2 hard disc in my computer and recently when I
start up the system, chkdsk automatically runs on my 2nd
drive (d:/) It says that the file system is NTFS and it
goes on with saying that certain sections unreadable. And
it continues with many more sections unreadable.

The chkdsk runs for very long time and still after it's
over and when I restart my computer, it runs chkdsk again
with the same messages. If I cancel the chkdsk, my system
will operate very very slowly and I can't get access to
the d:/ drive.

If i disconnect the d:/ drive everything is ok. Could
anyone out there be kind enough to help me with this
problem. Thanks

Chkdsk will run until all errors are found and cleared.
Unless you stop in manually, I think your hd is heading
for la la land, it may be time to get new one.
You might try this, boot in safe mode f8 and once in go to
start run msconfig and see if chkdsk is marked for
starting upon boot. remove the check.

also look in the registry
You may check the registry for a this entry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager

BootExecute

The default value is "autocheck autochk *"

The setting for it to run on every boot is

"autocheck autochk /p \??\C:Chkdsk /f"

without the quote of course

I copied this from somewhere...

Check Disk - Disk Checking Runs Upon Boot

Check Disk runs on every boot: Note - I have seen this happen when Windows
File Protection has either been disabled or not allowed to run upon
cancelling the bootup Check Disk.

Suggestions and Checkpoints:

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: fsutil dirty query c:
(Modify the drive letter accordingly)

If it comes back as dirty, it hasn't cleared. For more information go to
Start/Run/CMD and type in: CHKNTFS /?

Option: From a command prompt type chkntfs /D and then reboot, a chkdsk
should run but not again on next boot.

Run a CHKDSK /R on the drive to attempt to find and flag bad sectors and
also run a surface scan test using the drive manufacturer's utility. The
drive may be failing.
