The scandisk keeps running after i properly shutdown
Windows XP, not sure why it keeps doing that but any help
would be appreciated. Also the system is very slow during
startup.
 
Im not sure why scandisk is running after you turn it
off, but you can solve the slow startup problem by
disabling some of the programs that start up with
windows, if you have any. To do this, open RUN, then type
in MSCONFIG. A menu will pop up. Go to "STARTUP". Find
any programs that dont need to be on when you are not
using them, such as Kazaa. Disable theese. Make sure not
to disable important programs like a virus protector or
firewall.
 
that's - checkdisk/chkdsk.exe
scandisk - no longer incl/supported
and here's an mskb article on the prob/possible ans - ie
