Yesterday I did a complete reformat of my 2 hard-drives (one 20GB and one 40GB) and a clean install of a dual-boot ME/XP Pro (which I've had up and running with no problems before, I just wanted to use the bigger hard-drive for XP).
Everything went OK and it was all plodding along quite nicely until this morning. I started up XP and it said my config.sys file was missing, which I repaired using the XP option from CD. Problem solved.
However, this afternoon on starting up my PC again it decided to run Scandisk (during XP start-up), which I let it do and Windows started OK. I thought I'd see what happened this evening and again it started running Scandisk even though everything was shut down with no problems.
My ME installation is purring away quite happily with no start up or shut down problems, it just seems to be XP that's playing up. I've checked for viruses and anything else I can think of that might cause it but I have no conflicts, errors or anything else so I'm stumped...anyone got any ideas as to how to stop scandisk every time I boot to XP please? Thanks.

click Start, Run, type: msconfig, hit Enter, click on the Startup tab, uncheck Scandisk, click OK and reboot.
