Disable chkdsk at startup

CHKDSK can be very annoying sometimes,epecially if you are trying to defragment.

So if you’ve got problems with it,here’s what you have to do:

(Windows Xp and 2000)

Go to Start ,Run and type in regedit.

Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE , then go to the following subkey:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Change the BootExecute entry to: autocheck autochk *
Exit your registry.
Restart.

That should solve it.

checkdsk is totally useless l0l it has never helped me, scandisk yes it fixes few problems like missing links(whatever they call) to restore application to their previous state. checkdsk at every boot is absolutely unnecessary, many of them might agree with me?

Hi Manuel and sorry for the late answer.

My advise to you is to try a repair from CD.
This is mainly an easy operation and it will fix whatever issues you might have.
If you don't know how to do it, i can point you to a good web site that can help a lot.

Before you proceed with this, please do the following:
Click Start then Run, then type : sfc /scannow and click Ok.

Now, you should be prompted to insert the Windows CD in.
Follow the instructions and when the operation is ready, reboot.

If this isn't working, then the procedure above will work.

Good luck to you and let me know which one fixed it.

Also I've looked in the system32 folder and the AutoChk.exe is showing up. I've even over written it using the WinXP CD and still didn't correct.

I'm having the same problem with a customers computers.
Getting error AutoChk.exe Program not Found.

I booted to safe mode and ran a system restore. After rebooting it Still show that error. But it boots into Windows.
I've also tried to locate the BootExecute but is nowhere to be found. This system is running XP Home.
