Every time I boot my computer, it wants to run File System
Check. I do this, but it still wants to run it again when
I boot the computer the next day. Should I re-install
Windows 2000? How do I do this?
 
It runs chkdsk on boot because it has detected that there was some problem
with the file system. Running SFC /SCANNOW would honestly not really do
much for this prob.

Are there any errors in the System Event Log that point to drive problems or
data access problems?

To make sure its running completely, schedule a chkdsk to run on boot by
typing "chkdsk c: /f /r". Using the /f tells it to fix any problems it
finds, and /r does some additional checking on the drive.

If CHKDSK has run at boot time an event gets recorded in the event log - as
Winlogon 1001.

To see this do - Run -> eventvwr.

In the event viewer on the left hand side you will see 3 kinds of logs -
application, system and security.
Select the Application log and look for an event with Source "Winlogon" and
ID "1001".

If you can send the contents of this event, we can try to determine why
CHKDSK is running on your machine everytime.

HTH.

Oops. Sorry, I thought it ran system file check, not file system check.
That's why I thought SFC was set to scan every boot.

I'm tired ...
