CHKDSK - disable delay


Recommended Posts

One of your file-systems needs to be checked for consistency. Press any key within 10 seconds to cancel the check.

How can I disable this message which comes at startup if windows XP has had an improper shutdown? Possibly a regtweak? I want it to start CHKDSK straight away without the user's permission.

I did use some regtweak previously, but that did not have any effect.

Umm.... some mis-understanding here!

I'm not running chkdsk manually.

It runs automatically after an improper shutdown. During this run, it gives a 10 second time-out to cancel itself - I don't want that option - it has to necessarily run when needed, that's all (there should be no way to cancel the check).

You're the one that's misunderstanding it here :) /T actually sets the timeout for when CHKNTFS is run.

syntax

      CHKNTFS drive: [...]      CHKNTFS /C drive: [...]

      CHKNTFS /X drive: [...]

      CHKNTFS /T[:time]

      CHKNTFS /D

key

   drive : Specifies a drive letter.

   /C : Check - schedules chkdsk to be run at the next reboot.

   /X : Exclude a drive from the default boot-time check.

        Excluded drives are not accumulated between command invocations.

   /T : Change the Autochk.exe initiation countdown time (time in seconds)

        If you don't specify Time: displays the current countdown time.

   /D : Restore the machine to the default behavior; all drives are        checked at boot time and chkdsk is run on those that are dirty.

        This undoes the effect of the /X option.

If no switches are specified, CHKNTFS will display the status of the dirty bit for each drive.

/T option is new in Win XP
