It seems like one or both of your drives are being marked "Dirty".
You might want to use a command prompt just before shutdown

This will tell you if the volume is marked Dirty and will AutoCheck
on the next boot/Power-up.
Also, in BIOS Setup if your PC supports it add a 1-2 Second IDE
delay for your drives to spin up before XP starts.

No help to offer, but thought you might like to know about the collateral
non-damage you did. Fsutil is new to me, and I appreciate discovering it.
