When starting computer it used to go straight through process to blue windows
XP screen, but now it's coming up with "checking data for corruption on D
Drive". I assume that this is an automatic process but I don't want to keep
seeing it! How do I stop this?
 
How to stop this, you ask?

Well, that's easy. First click Start> Run> bring up a command prompt by
typing in "CMD" and type " fsutil dirty query d: ". This queries the drive,
and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type "CHKNTFS
/X D:". The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive on the next
reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a
Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.

Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and type and now
you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing "Chkdsk /f /r d:". This should
take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally,
type "fsutil dirty query d:" and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is
not set on that drive. Good luck!

Fix the problem (whatever it may be) with your D drive.
