Hi all, hope I'm posting in the right section, feel free to point me in the right direction if I'm not! A few days after installing Windows 8 I started having a problem. Everytime I either restart or do a shutdown and turn the computer back on the computer immediately goes into chkdsk. I have two hard drives, one has windows 8, the other has windows vista and also a small chunk of the drive has a recovery section (that I never use).
I have not done anything to start this on my own (type the command in run, etc). It usually starts out with the recovery section of the drive and asks me to press a button to stop the check before it starts, then moves on to the next drive and then the last one.
Is there any way to stop this and any idea why it started in the first place? I HAVE let it go thru the check a couple times thinking that if I let it, it wouldn't ask to do it again but no such luck.
And yes, I need to shut down my machine fairly often, I live in the boondocks and it's pretty common for the electricity to go off unannounced so I don't take the chance of having the computer running all the time (plus I always do what I can to save electricity)!....
Thanks for any help you can offer, I really like windows 8 and hate to get off to a rough start with it!
