    Every time I boot up, chkdsk runs, but only on one partition and only in 3-stage mode.
    I can't think of anything I've done which is causing this, so has some entry got corrupted?

    I had this problem with the HP Scanjet 5200C and got rid of it by going into Dos in SafeMode then typing...

    chkdsk x: /f

    (x=appropriate drive)

    When finished do ctrl alt del and restart.

    This worked for me but there was one occasion since when it came back, and that was when i did a defrag.

    OK I had this happen to me too. It wiped out files and folder on a drive in doing so. .I believe it has some to do with ownership and this is how you take ownership. When booting to windows hit Esc key if windows flags you it needs to check a disk. At your desktop open my computer. Now do this:
    • 1.Tools>folder options>view untick the following : "hide protected operating system files (recommended)" & "use simple file sharing (recommended)" then tick the following: "show hidden files and foldersâ€
    • 2. Next go to the hard drive or partition Windows wants to check during booting right click and do this: properties>security. Under security tab click add>advance>find now. Then find the username/computer name you’re using now in the list. Select that then click ok>ok>ok. Now in the bottom dialog box is sure to give it full control over files and folders. Click "apply"
    • Next restore your settings to what they were in "my computerâ€. Then highlight the problem drive (or partition) and do this: properties>tools>check now>automatically fix file system errors…….. that should cure your woes :D
    Good luck!
