How do I get the bootup console back?

[Guest Ham Pastrami]

It used to be that when I scheduled a chkdsk /f for the next reboot, I would

get a console display during startup showing the chkdsk progress and output.

Now, it just stays at the Starting Windows screen. It still performs the

check and the rest of the bootup continues as normal, but I'd like to see

the progress again. This change might be traceable to the installation of

some kernel-level debuggers that I installed. I have since uninstalled them,

but still no console during pre-boot disk checks.

I got it. The debugger added a /noguiboot switch in my boot.ini.
