Vista Tutorial - chkdsk does not run at startup

01-14-2008

I have tried run chkdsk /f and chkdsk /f /v as an administrator. I have
also tried through the tabs in My computer. I select the option to run
chkdsk at startup but it bypasses an goes right into windows. Is there
something I am missing. I really need to fix this because I am getting
errors in the Log saying I need to run chkdsk.

Thanks,

Hi Windward,

Try to see if you can run the "chkdsk /f" command from the recovery console off the Vista installation disk. Select "Command Prompt" from step 6 here:

I have the same problem. I have had it 4 times before actually. (On a new
Sony VAIO CR none the less).

I have just faced this problem with a complete reformat. The problem has
been debilitating before. Sorry I am of no help, just in the same boat!

Hi Sanctus,

See if one of these methods will work for you.

I have the same problem on a Lenovo 3000 N100 notebook preloaded with Vista
Home Premium. None of the suggestions from the mentioned link work.
IBM/Lenovo says it is a Vista problem with no solution. There is no Vista
disk as they only use recovery partitions now that only restore an image of
the initial system. I need help if anyone has suggestions.

Hi John,

Do you have a friend that you can borrow their retail Vista installation DVD from to perform this? (METHOD TWO, OPTION THREE)

Hey guys!

I had this problem too.

Whenever I tried to run check disk (right-click C drive, properties, tools, check now), I was always told that it could not run and would run on the next start-up.
However, it NEVER did.
I followed numerous ideas, both here and on Microsoft Newsgroups, and NOTHING (!!!!) helped.
I even re-installed Vista, to no avail.
Just today I came across this link.
WinVistaClub : ChkDsk does not run at startup in Vista
I followed his instructions.......and PROBLEM SOLVED.
I'm posting this so that next person who can't get this problem fixed should know about this option.
