When I use Explorer Tools [Test Now] (aka chkdsk) for my C: & D:

When I look at the Registry entry under "Control\Session
Manager\BootExecute" I can see the 2 entries to run "autocheck" and
the boot-time checks run OK.

Problem, the entry for C: drive *never* goes away, the one for D:
does. When I reboot, the boot-time for C: does NOT run but still
remains in BootExecute.

Any ideas?

Check the Event Logs to see if there were any error running the boot-time
disk check. If you found any, what was the message?


Event logs are not applicable in this case. Chkdsk runs on both
drives OK.


Also try manually checking the disk using Windows disc's Recovery Console
(if WinXP) or Recovery Environment (if Vista/Win7+). i.e.: boot from the
disc. If the CHKDSK reported error(s), what was it?


I have a boot floppy with CHKDSK included, no problem from there, but
my issue is with the boot-time run of CHKDSK using Explorer [Tools]
and why the BootExecute Registry entry for C: does not clear after a
run as it should.

Again, chkdsk DOSE run.
