chkdsk at start up – why?

by frankerin . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

A hijacking forced me to reinstall windows. But now before the windows xp logo and start up I have to wait for chkdsk to go through three stage test of files, indexes and security descriptions.

I have no idea what is calling chkdsk. I renamed a chkdsk prefetch file to see if it had anything to do with this, but it happened on the next boot.

Does anyone have any insights here. It takes two minutes to go through this before the actual boot time. Frustrating.

Any help will be appreciated
