Every time I boot my computer XP checks my backup partition (it is NTFS) for errors, this has become really annoying because my computer is old-ish (5+ years) and I don't leave it on like I used to.
Is there any way I can disable the disk check, or solve the problem?

Try this from the command line (I'm assuming drive C; adjust as appropriate):
chkntfs /x c:
/X Excludes a drive from the default boot-time check. Excluded
drives are not accumulated between command invocations.
Use this to see if a drive needs to be checked or is configured to be checked on next boot:
chkntfs c:
boot13

Thanks, I did what you say and it doesn't check the disk at start up any more. – octa – 2010-07-16T20:02:53.733
Could be an indication of a failing disk. – Daisetsu – 2010-07-16T00:56:07.523
I have checked the drive, and the partitions for errors with defraggler and it doesn't show anything. – octa – 2010-07-17T00:08:34.407
