Chkdisk at startup

Hi,
for a few days now, my PC performs a chkdisk every time I (re)boot. Is there anybody who has a solution for this?
I found the thread of mcadam (05-19-06), but the solutions in there don't work for me.

 

First click Start> Run> bring up a command prompt by typing in "CMD" and type " fsutil dirty query d: ". This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type "CHKNTFS /X D:". The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows. Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing "Chkdsk /f /r d:". This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally, type "fsutil dirty query d:" and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive.

 

Keep in mind that chkdsk may be running for a good reason. There may be damage to your OS, file system, or the drive itself. Visit your hard drive maker's web site; download and run their diagnostic tool using the advanced/extended tests. This will tell you if the drive is 100% healthy. If it does not pass the diagnostic, start backing up your important info PRONTO in case of massive failure.

 

Hi Speculant, thanks for the help, this helped me. I no longer get a chkdisk at startup.

dlb, thanks for your help too. The only thing that confuses me is that I have this drive devided into 2 partitions, D and E. All my program files are on the c-drive, the D-drive is my "file" drive. Chkdisk only wanted to check my D-drive, where my OS is not situated. Also my E drive, which is on the same physical drive was never checked. So I thought damage to my OS or the drive itself wouldn't be the issue in this case. Or am I wrong?
