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?

Hi Doug,

Doing just Step One in this tutorial should reset chkdsk and stop it
from running at startup all the time.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You've missed the point. My problem is the reverse - chkdsk ALWAYS runs at
startup

Doug,

It will stop chkdsk from always running at startup. See NOTE B under
Step One.

Just do Step One.

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. Something is
marking C: as DIRTY, but it isn't a service or a startup item.

Doug,

Not that section. It's the one under it.

"STEP ONE:
Reset chkdsk BootExecute:"

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/13...tup-vista.html

Hope this helps,

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. This mroning I scrolled down and found STEP ONE.

I'll try the fix as soon as I can.
BTW your replies are difficuklt to read with all the >>>> in them.

Thanks

Those >>> marks are added by the news reader agent and not the poster.
They can get annoying on long threads if all the stuff gets reposted.

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.
