everytime i boot up my windows xp chkdsk program automatically runs , how do i stop this?

Question

Ive turned off the task schedular, cant find anything in msconfig to do it, nothing scheduled in my norton, drivin me nuts and taking 20 minuted to boot up.

Answer 1

under start, run, type this command: chkntfs /X C:

Answer 2

no it is not about hthe schedulink
But try to perfermo you an exhaustive scan disk and permit to the computer to terminate this job
In my opinion you have a little eror on hard disk and the program try to fix it
If the command chkdsk /f /r (find bad sectors, recover information from
bad sectors and fix errors on the disk) is run, on the next reboot the
check disk is scheduled, however you may want to cancel this check disk. To
do this perform the following:

(1) Run the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
(2) Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager
(3) Change the BootExecute value from:

autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\:

To:

autocheck autochk *
or a spartan solution
try to finfd this file "Autochk.exe" (usually in system root>system 32) and rename it
but make a copy of them
if you need a scan disk put it again in this directory

Answer 3

If you have norton systemworks installed. Check in the norton disk doctor setting. click the options button.There is a checkbox to enable chkdsk at startup.

Answer 4

chkdsk will run at startup if windows thinks it was improperly shutdown.
