Force Disk Check at Boot

[ohnnyj]

Hello all:

How do you tell Windows (specifically 2000) to run a disk check at boot?

Thanks.

Start -> Run -> cmd

fsutil dirty set <driveletter>:

eg

fsutil dirty set c:

Just a different way of doing it 🙂

And you get fsutil where?

Anyway, if you give chkdsk the /F switch and the volume can't be unmounted it'll ask you if you want to schedule it.

Thanks guys, I also found that simply running the Check Now... on the active drive will ask you to reboot to check. I knew this is suppose to be how it worked but it didn't go through the first time as I forgot I was not logged in w/admin priviledges, doing so changed all that. Thanks for the suggestions, though, I will keep them in mind.
