Is it scheduled? Check scheduled tasks In Accessories>System Tools

 

[nemaNIN]

nope. it's not scheduled..

 

[nemaNIN]

is there anything in some boot files?
or is it a tag on the attributes for the drive itself?

i dont know how to make it stop!

Every time you boot? As in before or after the login screen?

 

[nemaNIN]

eveytime i boot, before the log-in screen. just like if the drive actually was corrupt, except there are no errors what-so-ever..

if xp finds a disk has errors while it's running, it flags the drive for disk checking somehow (also if you try to diskcheck a drive being used by the system) and that flagged drive will be tested at the next boot, then the flag will be removed -- thats the way it's supposed to work.

however, somehow the 'flag' got turned on for this particular drive for no apparent reason AND is not being removed by a successful disk-check like it's supposed to.

i would guess that i all i need to do is find out where that 'flag' is stored and remove it -- but i dont know where that flag is. does anybody know? (this is xp, remember)

thanks! 8^)

Do you shut the computer down correctly?

I had this problem too, AFAIK it's a known bug in Service Pack 1 and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I reformatted 🙂

AFAIK = ?

if i do a system restore... it usually goes away. but then i have to do some re-installs sometimes 🙁

it stopped disk checking all by itself at some point..... so problem solved.
