CHKDSK runs every time I boot my PC
You can't defrag the drive due to the impending CHKDSK.
A simple fix that might help you.
1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
2. type "cmd" and press Return (note: dont enter quotes)
3. Next type "fsutil dirty query x:" (Use your problem
drive letter)
4. If the return message indicates that the volume is
dirty go to step 5
5. Next type "chkdsk e: /f /x"
6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should
notice no more
chkdisk.
If chkdsk /f /x has no effect at all.
Find the partition that has the paging file and disable
it or move it to another drive until you solve
this problem.
A "dirty drive" (from a multi-partitioned drive) may be
the cause when it holds the paging file.
Then you should be able to run chkdsk from DOS prompt
within XP and fix both stubborn "dirty drives".
It's now all back to normal life... WONDERFUL
