Every time I restart the PC, scandisk starts running, inspite of a proper shutdown. I have a 200GB HDD which is partitioned into 2. Its the D drive (175 GB) which undergoes a scan everytime.

1.) Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

In right-side pane, change the value of DWORD value AutoChkTimeOut to 0 and also remove all the entries, except the "*" from BootExecute key!

2.) If the above trick doesnt help then give following commands in Command Prompt:

chkdsk f: /r
chkdsk s: /r


Now restart the system and let the scandisk check both drives. After that ur problem should be solved! I'm sure, It all is happening bcoz of the Dirty Bit!

let it run once completely.

then try this :
run regedit
Edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager
Change the BootExecute entry from:
autocheck autochk * /.........
To:
autocheck autochk *

or else try this :
Start> Run> bring up a command prompt by typing in "CMD" and type " fsutil dirty query g: ". This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type "CHKNTFS /X G:". The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive (G) on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.
