Default XP professional SP2 system keeps chkdsk-ing on startup

I have a system with the following specs:
- ram: ddr2 1 giga
- hdd1: seagate sata 80 giga with 2 almost equal ntfs partitions
- hdd2: seagate ide 80 giga with 2 almost equal ntfs partitions
Whenever I have to boot it, it always prompts for chkdsk. If allowed,
it runs chkdsk and does not come up with any problem. But next time I
restart it goes through the routine. What could this be?

I found this doing a google. Note that this query points to doing a chkdsk
on drive D. Note which drive (s) your chkdsk wants to check and give the
appropriate drive letter changes, if any.

You must have set chkdsk to always run on boot.
