Harika;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Name: SFCScan
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Name: AutoChkTimeOut
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

Look for the REG_MULTI_SZ value with the following name: BootExecute.
This value contains commands that will be executed at startup. The
default value is: autocheck autochk *

If you don't want any checks to be performed, delete all autocheck
entries.

Automated edit here:

Disable CheckDisk Upon Boot (Line 82) Left hand side
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
=============

Or try this: Open a command prompt and type chkdsk /f c: (or whatever the
drive letter is). Then reboot. This should fix it. It has a dirty bit set,
and chkdsk needs to clear it.

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
