How to avoid windows running FDISK when start @ reboot

If your Windows keeps on running FDISK command when your start or reboot your computer, it is very irritating and frustrating. To do away this problem you might try this solution. I found this solution after facing the same problem a few months ago (after several hours googling of course!). Hopefully it will help those who need it!
  1. Click the Start Button and select Run
  2. In the Run dialogue box type: cmd
  3. Windows will then open command prompt screen : type fsutil dirty query : (Replace : with drive disk you have problem with; like E:, or D:, example fsutil dirty query C:) and press enter.
  4. IF system indicates that the disk is 'dirty' then go to step 5 else go back to step 3.
  5. Type: CHKNTFS /X : (eg CHKNTFS /X C:) and press Enter.
  6. Reboot the PC.
After rebooting the PC, proceed with the following steps
  1. Click Start>Run and type cmd.
  2. Windows will then open command prompt screen : Type: CHKDSK /f/r : (eg: CHKDSK /f/r C:) and press Enter.
  3. After the drive has been scanned type: fsutil dirty query : (eg. fsutil dirty query C:) and press Enter
  4. Message should appear volumn - : is not dirty.
That's it. Mission accomplished!
