Each time I re-start windows XP it always checks one of my drives for consistency and its very anoying. How can I prevent this. Thanks.
 
A long time ago I had this problem. Ultimately for me what stopped it was that I opened up a command prompt (start->run->cmd->ok) and typing the command chkdsk /f. Of course it popped up and said that it couldn't do this while windows was running and asked me if I wanted to run it at my next boot up. I said yes and then proceeded to do a complete shutdown and restart. I let the scandisk go through when it popped up and it proceeded to scan and fix a few things. After that it didn't pop up again and try to run scandisk on start up.

Give it a try, it might just work.
 
If it pops up each and everytime, you better do the following steps right away:

1) Back up your data
2) Get the diag tool from the drive's website
3) Call the manufacturer and get it replaced.
