checkdisk running at every boot :/

[monkeyspank]

For some reason windows feels the need to check one of my drives for consistency on every boot. I've pretty much attributed this to overclocking, but i could be wrong. There never seems to be any problems with D: but at every boot it get "checking file system on D:"

any ideas how i can stop this happening?

thanks.

This is not an unusual problem, unfortunately ... but it's easily controlled. Use the <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/chkntfs.asp" target="_new">chkntfs</A> utility at the command line to stop the automatic system checking on the volume.

Note: By the way, this has nothing to do with the NTFS file system ... just in case you were wondering. A member asked me about that recently, so I thought I'd go ahead and mention it in advance!
