re: CHKDSK won't run to completion Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 11:31 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (1951 messages posted) Chkdsk isn't worth a lot in my book, although it has managed to recover at least a few files for me from time to time, even if they were only in very raw form. There are better tools for that job, but I thought the point here is that you want to attempt a full bootup without it getting in the way. I think you know about BootExecute autocheck autochk * in the Session Manager part of the registry. If this is set to be blank instead of the default as above, the disk "dirty bit" does not get checked and chkdsk will not run at bootup. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.
