| | Continual disk check Every boot og Vista Home Premium PC asks for c: disk to be checked. In msconfig I disabled all services and all startup items, but 3 reboots called for disk check each time. I let the disk check run each time. However, if I start in Safe mode, the first start takes a long time (I assume it is doing the disk check) then restarts. From then on, r reboots in safe mode did not ask for a disk check. The first normal reboot after safe mode does not ask for the dsik check. What is my next step in debugging/fixing? -- Doug |

Chkdsk will Not Run at Startup in Vista Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Re: Continual disk check scf /scannow is the first thing I ran a week ago. It didn't fix the problem. Only starting in safe mode prevents chkdsk running at startup.

| | Re: Continual disk check Well, I did everything required but it still cjecks disk every boot. BTW my autocheck command was autocheck autochk * Isdelete. I removed the Isdelete word, should I have? I don't know if it is related, but this Vista HP fails the update to SP1 with "smalle.fon" errors. -- Doug "Brink" wrote: Quote: > > Doug;766521 Wrote: Quote: > > My apologies - I must be one of those dumb people. > > When I went to your answer, FIRST STEP was at the bottom of the display > > and > > I assumed that was Step One.
