When you ran the chkdsk command it had to run during startup process why was this necessary?
The chkdsk program needs to check all structures on the disk, including ones the Operating System would be using if it was running on that disk. Therefore to check the disk that Windows is installed on chkdsk must run before Windows is started, so that those structures are not in use. If you have multiple disks on the machine the other ones (i.e. that Windows is not installed on) may have chkdsk run on them at anytime. Note: there are some utilities other than chkdsk that can check a disk that is in use by the Operating System. They perform a "Live Disk Check" instead if they find that the disk is in use by the Operating System by skipping checks on the structures where the conflicts occur and checking the rest. Obviously this is not as complete as the checks done by chkdsk, but it can be done anytime.
