XP disk check runs every time I boot

Question

Every time I boot my computer XP checks my backup partition (it is NTFS) for errors, this has become really annoying because my computer is old-ish (5+ years) and I don't leave it on like I used to.

Is there any way I can disable the disk check, or solve the problem?

I have checked the drive, and the partitions for errors with defraggler and it doesn't show anything. — Adrian de Anda, Jul 17 '10 at 00:08

Try this from the command line (I'm assuming drive C; adjust as appropriate):

chkntfs /x c:

/X  Excludes a drive from the default boot-time check.  Excluded
    drives are not accumulated between command invocations.

Use this to see if a drive needs to be checked or is configured to be checked on next boot:

chkntfs c:

Thanks, I did what you say and it doesn't check the disk at start up any more. – Adrian de Anda Jul 16 '10 at 20:02
