Yes. But why do you want to corrupt your data further?

It is not corrupted and there is no damage. And a scan disk as ran everyday in Windows on my server. So why have it at start up? It's just a waste of time and quite annoying.

How do you turn it off?

To disable disk checking at startup open the command prompt and type:

chkntfs /x C:

Replace C with the letter of the drive you don't want windows to check at startup. Use chkntfs /? for more infomation.

Hope this helps. smile
