isn't it in the scan disk options? or task scheduler, etc? you probably have it set to run everytime you turn your comp on, just turn it off

Hmm this sounds like a case of double windows. Sometimes even windows gets so fed up with itself it just stops trying..

j/k if you didn't notice

Go through the "scheduling" again. Check also scandisk to see if it has auto-scan.

and lastly, make sure you don't have a problem while you are shutting down. windows will automatically run scandisk if the computer fails to shutdown properly. makesure you aren't using a "shutdown" shortcut such as a macro or program because it may be them.

if that doesn't work, run a full system scandisk. most likely the scandisk itself will find a problem and you can then fix the problem.
