I've had a similar problem recently. Drive D on my systems was always
checked with chkdsk on bootup, because the 'dirty bit' was set. Chkdsk was
run on boot, found no errors to correct , but still the dirty bit remained
set.
Search of the microsoft support site, several news groups, and a google
search turned up some articles that were helpful, but in the end nothing
solved the major problem---that is the dirty bit on Drive D remained set.
There are some command line commands you can try. (Start --> Run--> CMD.exe)
Suggest you check out the commands "chkdis" and its parameters, "chkntfs"
and its parameters, "fsutil" and its parameters. 'fsutil dirty query d:"
(without the quotes) is the command to check the status of the dirty bit on
a drive -- only a drive formated NTFS. 'Chkdsk /d' stops all episodes of
chkdsk from running at startup. I'm giving both these commands and
parameters from memory, so do you own research on these commands before
applying them. There are also some registery changes that can be attempted,
but they did not work for me and I don't remember them well enough to list
them for you. Perhaps someone else here knows them and will reply.
As I said I never solved the dirty bit problem. As long as the dirty bit
remains a check disk will be run. Finally I moved essential data off the
drive and did a full format of Drive D. This cleared the dirty bit and
chkdsk has not run.
If you disk is Drive C, reformat is your option of last resort. You might
try running chkdsk from the recovery console, some with this problem have
had results---unfortunatley I was not one of them.
Good Luck. Post back to the group how you solved the problem.
