CHKDSK
CHKDSK has suddenly started running on one of my secondary (is that the
right phrase?) partitions (NTFS) when my PC starts up. The SMART report appears to give the HDD a clean bill of health. Why is CHKDSK running and how can I stop it? All I have on that partition is my Acronis True Image files. Thanks. Keith. |

Why is CHKDSK running and how can I stop it? All I have on that partition is my Acronis True Image files. XP can get its tiny little brain scrambled like that, essentially losing track of successful chkdsk runs, so it decides that it needs to be run at startup time. Try a manually initiated chkdsk run and see if that will update the status properly. If that doesnt fix it, do a manual cleanup of the registry. http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q316506 |

You could try a restore point. |
