Vista - Correct behavior?

Correct behavior?

Gentlemen, if I may....
In Administrative Tools\Disk Manager\Drive Properties\Tools\Error
Checking\Check Now, the Automatic repair for files...etc is ALWAYS check ON
and not by user input. Unchecking and closing follow by reopening shows it
again to be check on.
Does this have anything to do with Vista SP1 chkntfs.exe default (/D) being
"look always for a dirty drive and run chkdsk.exe if so"?
Thanks.

Hi Dr. Rolando,

Check you registry in Method Four of this tutorial, and make sure that you only have:

autocheck autochk *

in step 5.

Check Disk - chkdsk

Re: Correct behavior?

Thanks Mr. Brink for the return
Followed your instructions and the registry entry is exactly as you said.
So I assume it is the default, thus correct?
Thanks again,
Cheers

Re: Correct behavior?

Well, sorry but I am curious.
I check same key in 2 XP computers and the entry is the same, yet their
check box is always open.
Cheers.

Dr. Rolando,

Yes, that is the default setting for that.

Try resetting the drives back to default by doing only steps 1 to 5A (not 5B) and steps 8 and 9 in METHOD THREE.

Check Disk - chkdsk

Re: Correct behavior?

Ok, followed your instruction.
Is the check mark in Drive Properties\Tools\Repair files suppose to
disappear? It is still there.
Would this be considered otherwise as "a pending command, if"?
Thanks
Cheers

The "Automatically fix file system errors" box will always be checked by default after you click "Check Now", so I would not worry about that as long as it's not running chkdsk everytime you start the computer.
