my comp wants to do a scan disk every time i reboot all of a sudden or just reboots by itself for no reason...it actually happened when I logged into this site this morning. Just rebooted asked me to do a scandisk so I did and all appeared ok. So i rebooted again and it wants to do it again I tried to pwr down and when I restarted it does it again (scandisk)....Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks

Re: Scandisk all the time?
Hi
Try running scandisk from within Windows - it should cancel the request on boot.

Re: Scandisk all the time?
When you restart your computer are you going to the start menu to restart?
Or are you physically pressing the restart button on your case?

Re: Scandisk all the time?
I aam unable to run it from the "Start Run " and I don't see an option to run it through system tools either.
TO Cowburn...Yes I choose start turn off shut down restart/ and or shutdown |

Re: Scandisk all the time?

Re: Scandisk all the time?
It is saying:
WIndows found errors on the disk but will not fix them because chkdsk was run without the /F (fix) parameter . "\WINDOWS!\PRefetch\CHKDSK>EXE-3860C82E.pf First allocation unit is not valid. The entry will be truncated. Convert lost chains to files?/n |
