Check Disk can't open NTFS file system (Or something like that)

I thought I'd be good and run Check disk the other day as I
hadn't run it in as long as I could remember. However when
I chose to run on re-start and re-booted I remembered why I
had not run it in so long. Everytime my computer boots up
it tries to run Check disk and fails. It says something
along the lines of cannot open NTFS volume C: and then just
continues to boot up as normal.

Other than using the windows CD and running the recovery
console to use CHKDSK c: /r is there a way to get Check
disk to run at start up when it's told to like eveyone else
seems to be able to do?!

TIA

I presume I can still run it from the recovery console. (I
haven't actually tried yet)

If you are running Norton Antivirus uncheck the "Start Auto-Protect
when windows starts up" and chkdsk will work . Or you can run it from
the recovery console and leave Norton alone. HTH
