Hey all, having a little bit of a problem. Every time, right before I get into windows, windows does a error checking of my backup disk. It's real quick but I just want it stop!! Is there any way to disable it from running from inside windows??

Thanks in advance.

PEACE

Click to expand...

Make sure that you shut down properly and that your RAM is stable.

Were there any power outages?

No, everything is running fine and stable. It's just the SATA cable that the drive was hooked up with was bad and it wasn't recognizing the drive, so I swapped out the cables and it runs fine. And everytime it runs theres no errors.

So it's just a pointless run and it's slowing down my boot time and we all we know we like fast boot times

Hit the key combo Windows key + R and then type in chkntfs /*funky drive letter* Then hit ok, it will do its thing and hopefully stop the issue.

Basically type it in the run dialog.

is it fat32 or NTFS?

Ok I didn't know there was a space in that command. Duh! And yes it is a NTFS drive. Hmmmm. Let me restart and see if that fixed the problem. Thanks again guys.

Nope still didn't fix the problem Hmm....any other ideas...I'm pretty much out. Unless theres a way to figure out a way to stop it through msconfig.

PEACE

Edit: Do you think if I reformated the error would go away?

Try this, Click My computer, Select the drive that windows is scaning prior to windows load, click properties, find tab called tools, run error checking

weard....I fixed a comp before, the person didnt reformat the HD when he installed windows, so it was still in fat32. Everytime I would reastart it, it would come up and do a error check. It was pretty annoying. I dont really dont know anything else do to.

Mabie try to reformat the drive and reinstall windoze?
