sounds like your computer is not shutting down cleanly & it thinks that the disk is "dirty" and needs checking

GunJack

either that or you need to check your scheduled tasks, and make sure that chkdsk is'nt scheduled to run at every boot-up..

Do you Start/Shutdown or just pull the power lead out?

Nicked from elsewhere.

First click Start> Run> bring up a command prompt by typing in "CMD" and type " fsutil dirty query d: ". This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type "CHKNTFS /X ". The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.
Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing "Chkdsk /f /r d:". This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally, type "fsutil dirty query d:" and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive. Good luck!
Maybe found this on here,not sure but it worked for me

Do you actually let the check disk task run though, or do you just cancel it? If so, it will just attempt to run next time round. If you let it run, it "should" cure your problems...
