ckdisk problem??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I'm running XP-home sp2

Recently when I try to do a check disk instead of telling me it will run on
reboot, it proceeds to run on top of windows immediately. It seems to
complete the process, but I didn't think this was the way it was supposed to
be done. It used to work properly and run upon reboot. Do I have a problem
here?

I didn't run it from a command. I went to My Computer, local Disc (C),
Properties, Tools, Check Now, scan and fix. It never behaved like this
before.
