Why does "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency" keeps showing up?

Here's the problem. I have a fresh install of XP Pro. My computer has two hard drives and each time I boot I get the message that "One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency." Each time it wants to run chkdsk on my "D" drive and never on the "C" drive which is the boot drive. If I don't cancel chkdsk it never finds an error but it insists it needs to check that darn disk again at next boot. I do have "Go back" installed but they claim no responsibility for the problem naturally. Any ideas on this annoyance?
TIA,
Jerry :confused:

could be failing? making any weird noises? have you run a full scandisk on it to check for errors?

No disk is fine, full scandisk reports no errors. Yet XP wants to check it every boot, only to find no errors.

hmmmm. can you back up the stuff on it and do a full format? maybe it's just got a flakey cluster or something. check the microsoft knowledge base too, maybe there's a fix if your drive is indeed okay.
