Problem With CHKDSK

[NikolaeVarius]

Chkdsk has gotten into the habit of running every time I boot the computer. The most annoying part is that it always stops when it starts scanning indexes. So I have to restart and manually cancel the check. How can I stop this?

Windows XP

Start>Run>chkntfs /x <drive> [drive] [drive]

For example, if you want to disable Chkdsk from running on drive C: chkntfs /x c:
Chkntfs works by modifying the BootExecute value in the Registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Session Manager
The default value is BootExecute:REG_MULTI_SZ:autocheck autochk *
Chkdsk /f /r is unaffected by chkntfs and can be run to check volumes manually on the next system reboot.

Looks solid to me.

I think the more important question here is why is windows doing this? It is possible that your HDD is starting to fail; you should use you HDD manufactures utility to check the drive
