CHKDSK will ALWAYS check my D drive

[vfouquereau]

Hey guys,

So, you get the point. I recently (two days ago) formatted my drives. A clean, uber clean Windows Installation. Now, each and every single time I reboot, my Windows want to scan my D: drive "because it seems there is something weird"...

So everytime I let it go, he scans, obviously he NEVER find a problem, I boot Windows and I can't defrag my drive because Windows HAS SCHEDULED A BOOT TIME CHECK!

I'm steaming mad now.

Did you get ever had this problem before?

Thanks for any help!

Yes.

Boot from the Windows XP CD, go into the Recovery console. Run this:

chkdsk d: /p

(Yes, /p, that's the switch when using Recovery Console before someone comes in here whining about using /f)

Run that a few times until you've seen Windows report twice that there's no problems with the disk.
Reboot, and the problem should be gone.

I had the same problem myself, and it's because the volume's Dirty bit is not being correctly cleared after the disk check. Running chkdsk in the Recovery Console a few times sorted it out for me, and for the other time that I've seen it.

Cool...An answer for the dirty bit problem

My answer was to backup the data and reformat the drive.
