Every bootup runs chkdsk

Every time my computer boots up it runs chkdisk--never finds anything wrong.
How do I stop it (other than "press any key")?
thanks

For when Chkdsk always starts and you've already done a full disk check with
the mftr.'s hard drive diagnostic utility (which would be A Good Idea if
you haven't already done this):

Start>Run>cmd [enter]
fsutil dirty query c: (or the relevant drive letter) [enter]

This will tell you whether the drive is dirty or not. Then still in cmd:

chkntfs /x c: (or the relevant drive letter) [enter]

This tells Windows not to check that drive on bootup. Reboot and it should
go to the Desktop. Once Windows has loaded, run cmd again and:

chkdsk /f /r c: (or the relevant drive letter) [enter]

Chkdsk will run through all 5 stages. After it is finished, still in cmd:

fsutil dirty query c: (or the relevant drive letter) [enter]

to see that the dirty bit is not set on that drive.
