2nd Hard Drive problems: Scan Disk at start up

My E: drive has issues. Scan Disk runs when i boot the computer. I by
pass with "any Key" and then windows HANGS on the "starting windows.

I can start windows when I enter the setup "F2"and I DISABLE THE
SECOND drive. However I can not see the second drive to re format it
and look for problems with this drive.

How do I resolve this issue? I am not sure what went wrong. The only
change to this computer was an AUTO UPDATE from MS UPDATE.

Help.

You can try creating the bootable test utility from that hd manu's site
I assume scan disk never completes?
HD's can fail at any time

Let the scan disk complete its check to fix problems that may be on the drive.

Im having close to the same problem. although i switched my master drive with a bran new stable drive. n now it's making my slave drive think there is a problem so it dose the auto check on start up. n finds no problems the hard drive is problem free. so i switched my master drive back to the old one and yet it still wants to do the auto drive check for the slave. and yet again finds no problems. so i am wondering how do you shut the auto chkdsk check off when the computer starts up.
