How to turn off disk check during startup?

I have a 160 GB Lacie external harddisk (firewire) that was first used on a Mac. I then connected it to my PC and everything worked fine. When I restarted WinXP for the first time after this, it began with the "Checking file system" process of the Lacie disk during startup. It then for some reason started renaming every file whose name was longer than 8 characters / had spaces in them, etc. (it said something about "non-valid long filenames"). Unfortunately I didn't press the PC's reset-button before many files had been renamed, so now many filenames are f***ed up (the files themselves are intact). Windows does this disk check thing everytime during startup if the Lacie disk is on (so I have to remember turning it off everytime before restart).

- Why did WinXP rename those files and can I get their original names back?

- Is it possible to turn off the disk check during startup?

Any help appreciated!

B.R.
