Try getting into the BIOS and booting in safe mode.

Old post, but here goes:

Chkdsk trying to run at every boot generally means one of two things: Either the disk has bad sectors, and it wants to run a thorough scan to attempt repairs, or (more commonly), the dirty bit has been toggled via something like pending updates running when the system was shut down improperly.

Run this command from administrator Command Prompt:

fsutil dirty query C:

If it returns this message "Volume C: is dirty", then run this command from the same admin command prompt:

fsutil dirty set C:

Did you let CHKDSK run completely to finish? If not, let it.

When you do run CHKDSK, make sure you run it with /r and /x.

1st step in this situation should be to make sure you know that your storage is not failing, chkdsk will cause data loss/wear otherwise.
since chkdsk is running on boot he doesn't have the option of using /r /x

op are you still following this thread? has your machine been running chkdsk for a month?
