Every time I turn on my PC Windows XP pro SP1 begins the disk check.

I have only 2 80GB physical HD's aside from the OS HD.
This 2 HD are divided in 7 Logical HD's each.
The partitions are about the same size in the 2 HD's.

How can I get rid of this check...I hate to wait and press cancel all the time..

Thanks.
Cesar

What file system are you using? FAT or NTFS?

If it's FAT, a chkdsk will run everytime you shut down improperly. If it's NTFS, chances are there's something wrong with the hard drive... or it just may need a format.

hi.
maybe this is called by a software.
i have installed system mechanic which does such thinks
on startup in schedule time even i did not understand when.or how to deactivate that,although i uninstall the aplication the tasks are stilll there.
go to
Administrative Tools/services
and check if there is enabled a task like disk check or similar
if yes stop that service.

i'd think there's something up with your C parition or main system drive
do a full check disk with thorough scan to see what comes up, maybe bad sectors or something

Nothing helped to resolved the problem (probably I didn't do it right).

Anyways I think I will re-format the 2 HD's and see if that helps.
I am lucky that the problem is NOT in my OS HD.

Thanks guys for your help.
This site ROCKS!

Cesar.
