CHKDSK Runs Contantly

[RicMul]

My PC is partitioned as two drives (C and D), and I am
running Windows XP Home edition. For some reason when I
boot, CHKDSK always runs on drive D, which contains only
games. I checked the boot.ini file and there is nothing
there that I can see would cause the CHKDSK to run. I also
checked the registry
...Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyCom puter\clea
npath and it looks okay. Does anyone have a suggestion a
to what might be causing the CHKDSK to run? TIA.

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. Then type in:
chkntfs /x d: , and hit enter. Reboot your computer.

I'm not sure what is causing it, but if you convert the drive to NTFS (a
journaling file system) you should find this stops happening. In addition,
you'll have a much more secure file system in place.
