    Sup ppl?

    I've been trying to get chech disk to run on startup for about a month now with now succes. I've searched the net constantly and tried tons of different approaches, but they all failed for me.

    Anyway, I keep getting a baloon popup saying I should run chech disk because I have errors. I was hoping there's any type of software I can buy/download that will do the same thing as Check Disk, as in fix errors and bad sectors on disk.

    Thanks in advance ppl.

    The most simplest solution to get rid of check disk is :

    RUN > REGEDIT

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

    In the right hand pane, double click BootExecute.

    The default value of the key is autocheck autochk *


    (JUST REMOVE THIS STAR * AND RESTART YOUR PC)

    Wow.. umm... you made an account just to reply, that was nice of you. But sadly tho, this thread was about getting ChkDsk to run, to to prevent it from doing that.

    :D

    have you tried to boot from your windows cd and run chkdsk from the recovery console?

    check out option 2

    when you get to the prompt, type chkdsk /r

    Oh, i forgot to state that i got around this problem. I tried your suggested option as well and it didn't work.

    What i ended up doing was downloading the Ubuntu Preinstalled Environment, booted from the CD and ran the check on the drive with all options selected from there. I got that disk put away for future problems, it owns man! I could even use wireless internet in that environment while the drive was being checked. Also proved useful to recover/backup files on other people's PCs before format. Kool shjt. :cool
