anyone know what this actually means when ur comp wants to do one as you turn it on?

What os are your running? XP?

Vista

open up command prompt (cmd)

Start>All Programs>Accessories>command prompt

open up cmd and type in: fsutil dirty query c:

if it does come up with a dirty drive, do the following inside cmd:

Type CHKNTFS /X C:

This X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive (C) on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.

Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing Chkdsk /f /r c:

This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally type fsutil dirty query c: and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive.



Hopefully it is this, and your problem will be possibly be solved
