phillyman2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 i have 2 questions that have been bugging me for sometime now , if anyone can solve these i would be appriciative1) Is there a Way to Have Xp Automatically Reboot into SafeMode WITHOUT sitting at the keyboard hitting F8 ??? Or at lease automatically go to the boot choice screen WITHOUT hitting F82) Is there a Way to Select ALL LOCAL harddrives to be scandisked at the next reboot , I have 5 Harddrives and want them all scanned at the next reboot , WITHOUT having to Select Each of the 5 Drives and hit ScanDisk Now , because i have to always play a Mp3 on each of the drives so that it says it cannot get full access to the drive because the drive is in use , and then it gives me the option to scan at the next reboot....ARRGThanks In AdvanceRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 1) Is there a Way to Have Xp Automatically Reboot into SafeMode WITHOUT sitting at the keyboard hitting F8 ??? Or at lease automatically go to the boot choice screen WITHOUT hitting F8The below steps will let you do so:1. Start >> Run2. type "msconfig"3. Click the "BOOT.INI" tab4. Enable (by ticking box) - "/SAFEBOOT"5. Do whatever other configuring of boot-up you want there.6. That's all. reboot.7. When you want to get back to normal, reverse the action above.Hoping this helps....The other thing about scandisk - try searching this forum, its there somewhere. Doing that scandisk thing is not difficult either. *And yes, thread moved to right section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
