    Why force HDD chkdsk at boot when it is "not" a system partition?


    What I understand is - only W10 or W8 system boot partitions C: cannot be chkdsk-ed while that system is running. So these are quequed and are checked at next boot.All other partitions data can very much be checked while the system is running.But I am seeing that it chkdsk-s different HDD partitions at the time of boot.Why force HDD chkdsk at boot when it is "not" a system partition? After windows is up and running, it can give a message asking us to run such and such maintenance task.Thanks.

    :)

    Changing boot hdd

    I downloaded PartitionMagic8.0, but the partition i want to make is not bootable.
    So the system boots from the old, loud hdd, and when i unplug the old, it doesnt boot.
    Any advice or suggestions how to change boot hdd without reinstalling Winxp?

    Windows 10 stuck in CHKDSK on Boot

    Short explanation: On Boot, Windows tries to Check my C: for errors, stopps on 1% and gives BSoD. After that, Windows tries to automatically repair itself but fails and gives me those blue tiles to select what to do next. Nothing on this helps, the result
    is always again checking C: for errors and crashing at 1%.

    More Details: I guess, Windows shutdown in Hybrid-Mode (that it can boot up faster), but locked the NTFS partition it is installed on. Now, when chkdsk tries to check that partition, it failes because it has no write-access and crashes (propably due to ****
    exception-handling). This is just a theory based on the fact, that i tried to run chkdsk manually via the CMD in the repair-options, and with the Attribute /F it says that it can not fix the partition.

    Problem:

    Should be obvious. My PC doesn't start. Instead it runns the loop explained in "Short Explanation".

    Please help me, getting the NTFS Partition unlocked, so I can run CHKDSK or disable CHKDSK from running at Startup or any other way getting my PC running again.

    Any kind of Help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Things I've tried:

    • Reboot
    • cut the power (provocating a cold reboot with unlocking the c: partition)
    • several things in BIOS (mainly disabled Fast Boot)
    • Booting from USB-Drive with Windows Installer on it (tried to run CHKDSK from there)
    • Runned the startup-repair, said it would do some repairs, didnt work either.

    Specs:

    • i5 6600K
    • 16 GB RAM
    • ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger
    • GTX 960
    • SAMSUNG 830 SSD
    • 2 other HDDs, nothing important
