Windows XP - CHKDSK runs on every boot


Since 6th October I'm facing CHKDSK at boot problem on Windows XP SP3 machine.


At every CHKDSK I get this message at log:



CHKDSK is verifying Usn Journal...
Usn Journal verification completed.
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.
....
....
0 KB in bad sectors.

Also, the defrag tool from Admin Account doesn't work, as it says to run chkdsk /f


How do I prevent from running CHKDSK on every boot?



Answer



Back up the data now before something happens. Assuming this is a Seagate drive, SEATOOLS would be a good thing to try. Vendor tools will often find issues that SMART will not.
