Whenever I start my computer Windows starts disk check of one of my hard disk's partitions.It is always d same partition.
I hav win:
XP pro SP-2.
seagate 250GB.
seagate 160GB.

The partition is on 250 GB harddisk.

Is there any way of getting rid of this without formatting the partition.

Thanks in advance.

let it run once completely.

then try this :
run regedit
Edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager
Change the BootExecute entry from:
autocheck autochk * /.........
To:
autocheck autochk *

or else try this :
Start> Run> bring up a command prompt by typing in "CMD" and type " fsutil dirty query g: ". This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type "CHKNTFS /X G:". The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive (G) on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.

Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and type and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing "Chkdsk /f /r g:". This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally, type "fsutil dirty query g:" and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive.

if u just manually check the disk for errors, this should cease.
otherwise, anandk has already suggested a good solution.
