Its sounds as though the drive is flagged as dirty

Click on the Start menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click command promt and select run as administrator
Next type fsutil dirty query <letter of drive that chkdsk keeps checking> eg fsutil dirty query c:
If the returned message indicates that the volume is dirty then proceed with the next step
Next type chkdsk <drive letter> /f /x
If you get this below answer YES.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? <Y/N>
After that finishes, repeat fsutil dirty query c:
If the volume is no longer dirty, reboot and chkdsk should not reappear.
