Default checkdisk error, cannot open volume for direct access

whenever I schedule a checkdisk and reboot, it loads the
windows xp screen and then goes to the blue checkdisk
background. Then it says "cannot open volume for direct
access" and boots to windows. My computer runs fine but I
would really like to make sure there are no disk errors.
I have read other articles on this and all the solutions
were for NT and other server/workstation things I have no
idea about. Please either post a reply or email me at

thank you

See "Err Msg: Cannot Lock Volume for Direct Access"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=160654). In Windows XP you do no
longer disable a device on the way that is described in the article.
Alternatively you may want to disable the device in the Control Panel
System Hardware Device Manager now.
