    I'm actually not quite sure this is an actual issue, but I suppose you folk could tell me :D

    My W3J runs chkdsk at EVERY boot, and, strangely enough, it only checks my non-system partition. Is it supposed to do that (and yes, I do shut down properly from Windows), and if not-how do I disable it?

    Generally windows shouldn't checkdisk unless you turned off your computer incorrectly.

    Has this problem started when you first got your laptop? Are there any errors?

    You may want to click
    here

    Also try these:

    Solution 1:
    Start>Run> type in "msconfig" (no quotation marks). In dialog box, select
    Startup tab. If Chkdisk is in the list, uncheck it.

    Solution 2:
    1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
    2. type "cmd" and return (note: dont enter quotes)
    3. Next type "fsutil dirty query e:"
    4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
    5. Next type "chkdsk e: /f /x"
    6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
    7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more
    ckdisk.

    Danny means to substitute e: for c: where c is your main partition unless e is your main partition.

    Thanks for the advice. I used your method on the other partition, and now I am chkdsk-free! :D

    Thanks! I was getting pretty tired of having chkdsk run almost every time I booted up.
