Win2K Chkdsk

Does anybody know how to force a Win2k machine to automatically do a chkdsk on startup?

On Win98 machines I used to just put a line in the autoexec.bat but that won't work on Win2k.

Any ideas?

 

if I remember just type:

chkdsk /f

at the command prompt?

I think.....

 

Yeah, but that's interactive. You'd have to set up an input redirect to automatically type "Y<ENTER>".

I'd just make a batch file that gets called by your Startup folder if autoexec.bat doesn't work. Kind of a wonky work-around. There out to be a policy you can set to do this automatically. :/

Here's a DOS command that checks drives C:, D:, and E:. if necessary, it will schedule.

Code:

for %x in (c: d: e:) do echo y|chkdsk %x /f/r

You can replace (c: d: e with whatever you want. (c: h: l: e: f: k, for example. Note: That's a pipe after "echo y", not a lower-case l or capital I.

 

Thanks mate, I owe you one!
