Turn off disk scan?

by smokeyjoe7 - 3/30/06 7:39 AM

Made a mistake and used Microsoft Scan Disk. It takes forever, literally, for Scan Disk to run and clean the white space on a 30+Gb Hard Drive. Webroot Webwasher does the job in 1/10th of the time. However, the scan Disk insists on running everytime I start my machine.

there is a problem somewhere, How old is the HDD, it could be starting to fail.
