Owner, administrator, HP administrator and All Users but no passwords have
ever been used and I have never switched etc.

Do you have multiple users enabled for your system. I beleive that when I
ran the anti-virus and anti sypware that curred my problem that I was logged
on as a different user than I normally log on as or maybe I logged on as
the other user when the system booted and check disk ran and then did not
run again after future boots as either user.

Did NOT work, I ran complete scans and it still does it.
I tried to do a Defrag on Drive D and it told me it was in use and to
please
tun chkdsk f/
I went to the prompt and this is the message that I got.
"Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator>chkdsk /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)"


If I select YES! nothing changes.
How do I find out what is causing it?

I had the same problem and it went away after I did a complete anti-virus

Every time I turn on my computer, chkdsk auto checks my second hard
drive.
I have gone to PC Docotr and run a complete check of the drive and it
is
fine, I have looked at it in device manager abnd it says it is working
properly.
How do I shut this autochecking off and how did it get turned on. I
remeber in the days where you had MS-Dos i ue to run chkdsk but what
has
created it to do so in Windows XP multi-media Edition/
Thanks in advance for the help.
Oh! it is a Sata WD 250 gb and the primary is a sata as well and
they
are NOT hooked up as a RAID system just C, D, and another WD 250 GB as
E,
been working fine for about 8 months and then it startiing autochecking
4
days ago. I even went to a restore point prior to when it started and
it
still does. Must be a Toggle switch somewhere J/K
