Check disk on every boot up

I have win2k and used a registry cleaner that did some damage and now I get a check disk on every boot up even though there is nothing wrong with the disks. Does anyone have a clue how to set this right. I've tried defrag , different disk scans and chkdsk /F all with no luck. I have two Hard drives (an IBM & a WD) partitioned into 4 and check disk rotates through any of the ones I used in the last session and sometimes ones I haven't used. Sometimes it checks two disks sometime 3 sometimes all 4.

You said that you have win2k but do you also have win98se on the machine ???
chkdsk is not the norm for win2k it needs to lock the HD up at reboot to run this 
command.
Also are you running fat32 or NTFS  ???
How did you enter the command  from the cmd (DOS window) ??
Or did it just start running at reboot ???

Check this Microsoft Knowledge Base article. Specifically, the default entries for the BootExecute REG_MULTI_SZ values. Make sure, also, the order is the same in your registry as in the article, or else you can get caught in an infinite loop.

Hope this helps,
JT
