Can you stop Windows XP from running Scan Disk on start-ups?

Is there a way to disable the scan disk in Windows XP when you startup after an error?

Thanks in advance...

hmmm I am not 100% but mine has never run scandisk and I do not think that XP has scandisk. If you are talking about checking the volume for errors after a BSoD (blue screen with a little timer thingy on a command line looking interface) then I dont think so.

Your OS is designed to that diagnostic when an error is detected and the error appears to be HD-related (file system, bad clusters, physical disk surface problem, etc).

I can't imagine why you want to disable it.

Bad clusters, for instance, is a warning of imminent drive failure.

hope this helps!

I have a partition on a drive that for some reason it runs the scandisk thingy on everytime I boot up.
I let scandisk thingy run, no errors and windows boots up fine....shutdown no errors....turn computer back on and it
runs scandisk on that drive again...

You got me...guess I reformat the drive over. I didnt think there was a need for with NTFS?

Thanks for the info

If you interrupt the error checking it will do it the next time you boot up best to let it complete the cycle.
