Cancel windows xp startup scandisk

Thanks You So Much. And the script I downloaded from you, it works too. Thank you! This worked like a charm, Thank You! Anyway, it is all fixed now! It worked exactly as you said.

I had some bad sector in my main C: drive and chkdsk was running every restart and hanged with blue screen in its stage 3. It was disturbing to skip this every restart. It was OK for me to accept some bad sector instead, which was not bothering my daily laptop use. Your solution helped.

Thank you again. Thanks for the solution. Raymond- I finally got chkdsk disabled…kinda rough when it keeps turning off!! YES, your assistance is greatly appreciated, today and for the next times!

This solutions fixed my problem. Who needs Checkdsk anyways! Pure genius. Fast and easy. Thank you SO much for helping me fix this long-standing, annoying problem, both for me and for a friend with the same issue. Thanks for this article, straight to the point no mess or confusion like most other web pages. Solved my problem straight away. This is fantastic. I mean it is simple, straight to the point, and does what it says and solves the problem Many thanks for the article.

This is very helpful, especially if we need to restart server remotely and you have disk that need check, it will take all the day and will not finish. Thanks again for this article. It worked! Now I can boot my computer without going through this irritating windows check disk. It does not correct the error no matter how much i allowed it to pass the check disk test.

Brilliant idea on registry tweak! Hey, I gotta tell you. This is the only one that really worked for me. My CEO is very pleased — I got his old win working like a charm. Besides this annoying boot anomaly there were also some dll ambiguities…. Thanks for the help on chkdsk options.

Very well done and easy for the less computer savvy individuals to understand. Tried this on my old PC with windows because this screen kept coming up and it was annoying me. Thanks, this worked good even on my fat32 drive.

When it finally booted into Windows the disk was practically unreadable and subsequent attempts at recovering the disk content using recovery tools have proven fruitless. The usual crap you have to put up with when using Windows is tolerable but anything that actively destroys your data should be disabled.

Thanks again, Charlie. OMFG this is what I have been looking for! For some random reason it started doing it and never has before and its annoying so i used this and it fixed it! Adding my thanks to the many you already have. Invaluable help, much appreciated, thanks a lot, John C.

How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP Hope the information helps.

How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to Debleena S's post on July 30, Thank you for the quick response. I have not scheduled a disk scan - I do that manually. As I do not have an f drive so cannot even re allocate it , I cannot comply. In reply to terry Allen's post on July 30, When XP reboots, it checks all volumes to see if they are "dirty" and will automatically run chkdsk on the dirty volume s.

If it wants to run, you should let it run. A volume could be marked dirty from something like a power interruption, aborted restart or ungraceful shutdown. If you have scheduled a chkdsk to run on the next reboot, you can "undo" that, but you cannot undo the automatic chkdsk that wants to run on dirty volumes. If a volume is dirty, you will not be able to run defrag on it until the dirty bit is cleared. You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.

To query the dirty bit on drive C, type: fsutil dirty query C: Sample output: Volume C: is dirty Volume C: is not dirty Type 'exit' to close the command prompt window. Is the volume on which you want to run defrag dirty or is it not dirty? That is the only way to clear the dirty bit. Checking disk could be a really time-consuming task. Open a Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows. Type in the following command and press Enter. If a dirty flag is set on your drive, the system will force an automatic disk check at the next reboot.

When the computer boots up with the dirty bit enabled on a drive, you will be asked to check the disk for consistency before Windows is loaded. But sometimes Windows might keep running check disk automatically on every reboot and this could be quite annoying.
