Stupid question, but are you shutting down your computer properly? When the disk is checked automatically and no errors are found, Windows should disable the chkdsk tag in the file system (I believe it works along those lines, anyway). The only reason I can think of that it gets checked every boot up is that somehow Windows isn't shutting down correctly.

The value of the BootExecute Data should look like this:

autocheck autochk *

I am having the same problem, only it is with my D: drive. (Not that it makes a difference.)

The world is going to hell, and I'm driving the bus.

I got that problem too and I fixed it by typing in the "run" command line (start/run)" chkdsk /f e: " (without the quote) or whatever drive you get an error for.

-Always put the blame on you first, then on the hardware !!!
