Problem with Boot-Time CHKDSK Run
When I use Explorer Tools [Test Now] (aka chkdsk) for my C: & D: drives, both have handles open, so a boot-time run of ChkDSK is schedule. 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? -- =========== Tecknomage =========== Computer Systems Specialist IT Technician (retired) San Diego, CA |

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? 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? |

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. -- =========== Tecknomage =========== Computer Systems Specialist IT Technician (retired) San Diego, CA |

Again, chkdsk DOSE run. When boot-time check is initiated from Explorer or CHKDSK, the registry entry for that drive should be like below. autocheck autochk /p \??\C: You can use "CHKNTFS /D" to reset the flags to default value, which is: autocheck autochk * Do you have a third party tool that periodically check a disk? Cause, it can trigger the boot-time-check flag if the drive is locked. |

Cause, it can trigger the boot-time-check flag if the drive is locked. The tool might also manually and incorrectly add the entry into the registry. In this case, the AUTOCHK.EXE doesn't recognize the entry, does no disk checking, and left the entry untouched. |
