Title says it.
Really stupid and annoying problem, yet not a lot of answers
.
I haven't installed any programs recently that could have messed my hdd up. Just scanned with my anti virus, and found two tracking cookies. I did happen to install the windows 8.1 preview on a separate partition (dual booted with windows 7), and I believe it started running this AFTER the installation. First time it ran, I didn't think anything of it, then it ran every time i booted. This ONLY happens on windows 7 boot, and that seems funnny.
I did see the "chkdsk /x c" fix, but I think its more of a workaround because it blocks your drive from being scanned. What happens when/if my drive does have problems?
Thanks,
Suv
Edit: Now that I think of it, CHKDSK finds no issues with the drive. It states that it checks for errors, then disk consistency specifically.
