A few months ago I unsuccesfully attempted to install an external CD writer. It caused major headaches, resulting in me having to re-install my device drivers.

The only problem I have now is that every time switch on it runs scandisk or the "Because your computer was not shut down properly.... checking drive(s) for errors" screen. One or the other, there is no pattern to which screen will appear.

One possible cause is that I may have used an old startup disk from my other computer during the re-installation process.

I have no errors on my drive and scandisk reveals no problems. I can abort the scan by hitting 'exit' but it would be nice if I could just switch on and walk away.

Any help would be much appreciated.
