Does this scan finish or you cancel it each time?

[Woomera]

no, i let it finish it scans about 2 or 3 times but still it shows up

Try entering chkntfs /d in commandline.

What operating system are you using?

If win xp, then do a thorough scan of the drives (with all options checked using scandisk) that are being scanned on startup from within windows. if the drive or partition is your os drive or partition, then let it do a thorough scan on startup.

itried scanning through right-click>properties>tools with all options and it said it will scan in next start-up and still it wont go away.

i will try that command symbiosys.

edit: ok i tried the chkntfs /d in command line and it still goes on.

Have you tried to run scandisk from within Save Mode and then reboot?

If this doesn't help, Google gave me the following result:

I suppose in all the commands that is being used, "d" represents your drive that is being scand each time windows boots.

Good Luck!
