Let it finish all the way through and you won't be prompted the next time...

I'll assume that your operating system is XP.....and that drive C: is being checked.....and that your file system is NTFS.

At the command prompt type chkntfs /x c: then push Enter

At the command prompt type chkntfs/? to list all parameters.

Good luck

Is this correct?

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>chkntfs /x c:
The type of the file system is NTFS.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>chkntfs/?
Displays or modifies the checking of disk at boot time.

CHKNTFS volume [...]
CHKNTFS /D
CHKNTFS /T[:time]
CHKNTFS /X volume [...]
CHKNTFS /C volume [...]

  volume         Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
                 mount point, or volume name.
  /D             Restores the machine to the default behavior; all drives are
                 checked at boot time and chkdsk is run on those that are
                 dirty.
  /T:time        Changes the AUTOCHK initiation countdown time to the
                 specified amount of time in seconds.  If time is not
                 specified, displays the current setting.
  /X             Excludes a drive from the default boot-time check.  Excluded
                 drives are not accumulated between command invocations.
  /C             Schedules a drive to be checked at boot time; chkdsk will run
                 if the drive is dirty.

If no switches are specified, CHKNTFS will display if the specified drive is
dirty or scheduled to be checked on next reboot.

Looks like it could be fine, but do you still run chkdsk at boot time

You failed to mention you were running DisKeeper...in the left hand pane look under set it and forget it for scheduling options...

I see. According to their site there is a run on boot option....check in options or tools to turn it off.

Don't know what to suggest other than un-installing DisKeeper and re-installing it...

Have you ran chkdsk on that HDD recently ?
