Tip: How to cancel a repeating chkdsk at boot
Hi All,
I had a customer yesterday with a crashed Windows Nein, oops Windows Ten update. I did my magic and got him back to norm. The last thing that did to work was a constant chkdsk at bot, due to a dirty NTFS flag. Now this information is indeed all over the web, but I am posting it here because I get straight to the point (I am not paid by the word). By the way chkdsk is "suppose" to clear the dirty flag, but doesn't always work. -T Here are my notes: To stop a scheduled or repeating chkdsk at boot: Reference: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/check-...tartup-windows 1) modify the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\BootExecute change autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: to autocheck autochk * 2) If it is already set that way, the NTFS dirty flag may be set. Windows: to check the dirty flag: fsutil dirty query g: Windows: presuming the issue is with the C: drive: Note: must be run from an Administrators CMD shell: CHKNTFS /X C: Linux: # ntfsfix -d device (/dev/sda1) |

So that bit does get a good workout at times. Paul |

[] Not quite: you often insert your "Windows Nein, oops Windows Ten update" line before you get to the point. (I've just seen it twice in as many minutes.) (-: -- J. P. Gilliver.

It was my notes that go to the point. When I see How To's on the Internet that are several pages long that could be summarized in three sentence, it drive me nuts, especially digging around for the actual information |
