You can disable it through Command Prompt. I would suggest letting it complete a check at least once though before disabling it. It should stop on it's own after a successful check, but if it is repeatedly doing it you can do this:

chkntfs /x c: d:

The chkntfs utility works by modifying the BootExcecute value in the system registry.
