Hmm, ok thats as it should be...

try this: fsutil dirty query D:

EDIT: on the command line I should have added.

 

[edogg]

D is dirty

ok, this is the reason why chkdsk is always starting up with windows.

you can do a chkdsk /x D: and that may very well fix it for you. Might want to leave it running over night maybe?

karym6 I have got it cured now I deleted the last file i saw it moving and retyped chkdsk d:/f and demounted drive d: then ran chkdsk it i was able to defrag it so im about to restart now and hope i dont get chkdsk running again

fingers crossed that will do it, once you have restarted check to see if you have any dirty files again If you do, try that chkdsk command.
