Is there any way to get rid of Win2k's "consistency disk checks" when installing it?

I am instally Win2k on my house's comps, and the disk checks takes too long. I can press a key to skip, but it comes back on the next bootup.

Where should I modify to permenantly get rid of the checks?

thanks

Do it once and for all and so long as you don't hard crash the system it won't come back.

Very funny, zbalat.

I think you're out of luck. I'm not sure you can get around this check--M$ is pretty serious about making Win2K stable, and that's just part of it.

*prepares to get flamed*

In all seriousness, I think Win2K is the best thing to come out of Micro$loth in a long time. Definitely their best operating system to date.

i do agree with that, fdisk, but I do think that microsoft is now treating like mac users. they even disabled the dos prompt in winme, taking away our freedom piece by piece.
 

There is no way of disabling the disk checking during startup.
Do it once and wait the 15 minutes, you have no choice.
