Windows disk check when starting up pc?

Pendu · 16 Oct 2007 at 13:14

When i shutdown down my pc, 70% of the time , it does a disk check on my partitions. It says that the pc may not have shut down properly, even thou it did. I have had most of the parts in this pc for many years. The only recent changes is the hard drive and PSU. I get no other problems like crashes or BSOD's.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Start -> Run ->

chkntfs /x f:

OK

-replace F: with the drive letter that it's checking

what does this do?

It will stop it checking at each bootup.

Not wise if the drive has errors though.

no it isn't really wise if the disc has errors, but sometimes windows gets into a routine of always checking at startup

if you've changed the 'wait to kill' time for your apps on shutdown, this can cause the message to turn on
