How do you turn of scandisk/chkdsk after a reboot in XP?

[Byte]

I have an XP system that runs it almost EVERYTIME i boot. Even with a regular shotdown. Is there a way to turn this off?

There's obviously a problem somewhere, it doesn't do that normally. Check your eventlog for errors.

i just want to know how to turn it off. i can figure out other stuff later myself.

You can't because it only does it when there's a problem, fix the problem and it'll go away.

This is not true I tried using it once for checking errors. Rt click the C drive >properties>tools>error checking. It will ask u want to do this during next bootup and I said yes. It started doing everytime it booted up. The only way to disable it is to use system restore and go back to the day when the computer was booting up normally.
It worked for me

This is peculiar, but I agree . . . it runs only when it has to run because of some error on the drive. The use of System Restore to go back to a known good date is worth a shot in case the rror is in the registry. If it is on the HDD, that won't help.

My systems are the opposite . . . I have to specifically request ChkDsk to run or it never does . . . not even when I pull the plug, hit reset or do any sort of improper shutdown.
