how do you permanently stop a boot up disk check?? - GoFuckYourself.com

I installed a sata harddrive and everytime I boot the computer it does a disc check on it. For whatever reason the computer is seeing the single drive as 2 drives (wrong raid setup?) - there is something fucked with it, but as I have already loaded it with almost 500gb of data I do not want to re-format it. When it runs the disc check I end up losing data.

How do I stop it from performing the disk check at start up?

Might check the bios for options..

What is doing the disk check, your OS? Windows XP, Vista? Mac? Under XP you can hit esc to cancel the check but I don't think there's any way of stopping it completely. You obviously have some sort of issue so I would advise fixing the problem rather than masking it.

BTW, a single physical drives can have more than one logical drive, so C:\ and D:\ could actually be located on the same drive... there's nothing abnormal about that, unless you've never partitioned it that way.
