chkdsk

When I reboot my Windows 7 machine, I get the error:

Autochk cannot run due to an error caused by a recently
installed software package

The only way I can get rid of it is to boot from the Windows install DVD, get into command prompt and run chkdsk. Then when I reboot from the hard disk, there is no error, however, it eventually comes back.

Any ideas?
