Everytime I bootup, I get the "Checking file system on C:" message. It states, "One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency." I have both allowed the check to proceed, and have hit a key to bypass the check. Either way, my computer functions normally after bootup.
This problem began after I reformatted my HD and reinstalled WinXP Home, which I have done many times before. I have and 80G master IDE HD and a 20G secondary IDE HD, with plenty of free space on both drives, PIII 1.2G processor, and 512mb. The file system is stored on the master drive. Ironically, when I reformatted this time, the master drive was assigned the letter "F" and the secondary drive was assigned the letter "C". Maybe this happened because, for the most part, I allowed the reformat and reinstallation procedure to proceed without much oversight, since I have done this many times before.
My suspicion is that, since the file system is not on C:, Windows initiates the disk check at bootup. Whether or not that is true, how can I eliminate this disk check?
