Assuming the drive is C:

1. Click on your start menu and open the Run... dialog.
2. Type: cmd and Enter
3. Next type: fsutil dirty query c:
4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
5. Next type: chkdsk c: /f /x
6. After that finishes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more ckdisk.

This should take care of the boot issue. The other sounds like a scheduled task. Read this and see if it is scheduled then unschedule it:
