Stop CHKDSK every time at start-up dirty partition

If a partition is marked as dirty it will not be cleared.

Type :
fsutil dirty query d:
 Volume - d: is Dirty
You can also set the dirty bit if you want by : fsutil dirty set d:


CHKNTFS /X d:
 /x = not to check the volume at start-up

chkdsk /f /r d: 

You can manually remove the dirty bit :

Download a hdd hex editor : DMDE GUI for Windows

Select Logic/disks volumes, select the volume and press Open volume.

ALT+C = volume cluster selection + ENTER
CTRL+S = Search string --- and paste in the hex part:

03 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 18  - no dirty bit
03 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 18  - win xp, win 7
03 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 18  - win 8
