Hey there, i have a similar problem...i wanted to run scandisk so i selected it from the my computer ->C Drive -> properties ->tools ->check disk. then it said that upon next re-boot it will check my disk. Well when i restarted it did indeed come up with a check disk screen, but then it says" cannot get direct access to disk" and then it aborts and restarts to a normal windows screen. If anyone can help us it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

to follow up: now my computer does the exact same thing, it goes to the chkdisk screen everytime, i tried running it again to maybe turn it off, but no luck...any ideas?

Open a command prompt, type CHKNTFS - what does it say?

Im having the exact same problem, it started yesterday and it might have been becouse of an windows update.

Heres what it says when i do that

C:\Documents and Settings\Hitomi>chkntfs c:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
C: is not dirty.

C:\Documents and Settings\Hitomi>chkntfs d:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
D: is dirty. You may use the /C option to schedule chkdsk for
this drive.

I schedule a chkdsk but it keeps on doing a chkdsk everytime it boots
