XP constantly scanning disc on boot after HD upgrade

I recently upgraded the HD on a D610. Rather than reinstall all of the software and data, I formatted a new disc to be bootable and transfered the content wholesale, data, software and OS from the old disk to the new disk using backup software (basicly, I restored a backup onto a new disk rather than the old one).

The disc boots, the software runs fine, except for one thing. Whenever the D610 boots into Windows it runs scandisk as if it hadn't been shut down properly. It doesn't find any errors but still automatically loads again the next time you reboot, and so on. The user isn't apparently doing anything wrong when shutting the system down.

Any clues?

I guess that it's because the new disc is larger than the old disc and that Windows still has memory of the old disc somewhere and is seeing the change as being a sign that something is up.

How should I resolve this? It's kinda annoying.

From a command prompt window (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt) run the following command:


CHKNTFS /D


This should restore CHKDSK behaviour to its default/normal behaviour
