I am using WinXP Home. When I reboot windows states because win was not shut down properly that one or more of my drives need to be checked then it does a scan check on drive D: The one time I had to do a recovery it work right for a while now it is back to doing the scan Check how do I get this fixed

If you are not shutting down Windows by going to start\shut down, you will get an error every time.
Try opening My Computer and right click on drive D. Choose properties. On the tools tab click to check now under error checking. When the window opens, choose both options- check for and fix errors and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
When you click to check the disk, it will tell you it needs full control of the disk.
Click to run at your next reboot.
This will run Check Disk on drive D and fix any errors. This should solve the problem until you have another bad shutdown.
If the problem continually occurs and you are shutting down correctly, then the disk may be beginning to fail. How old is the disk? I would keep current backups for any important data if this is the case.
