Whenever I reboot my PC, it always runs a Check/Scan/whateverDisk on one specific drive (out of 6). Always the same one. No bad sectors, just a constant check, whenever I reboot. The least it could do is tell me WHY it's doing it, instead of just throwing soem meaningless results/statistics in my face. Is there a way to stop this, or at least a program to run to actually find out if there's a problem with it? Kisses XXOOXX Jen

Below you will find some instructions, that may help. If they do not, try the Help and Support option located in the Start menu for more options. =================================== 1. Run the Registry Editor(Regedt32.exe). 2. Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager 3. Change the BootExecute entry from: autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: To: autocheck autochk * Tomorrow the Stars!

I had a look using regedit, and it's already set to autocheck autochk * Kisses XXOOXX Jen

Hi Jen, FJ, hello everyone, Go to Start and Run. Type cmd and press [Enter]. Type fsutil dirty query c: Post back with the information that is displayed after running the above command. Best Regards, Mesich

C: is NOT Dirt Tomorrow the Stars!

Hi Jen, FJ, hello everyone, FJ, Sorry about my previous response as it does indicate that Jen, yourself and everyone else run the commmand. The dirty command within fsutil will show if the dirty bit is set. When Windows starts autochk is executed via the registry entry you specified in your previous response. It will check to see if the dirty bit is set and perform a chkdsk on that volume if it is. It's possible that the dirty bit on Jen's computer is not resetting after a clean chkdsk is performed. This can be reset but I didn't won't to post how without first determining if Jen's volume IS dirty. Best Regards, Mesich
