Guest mrgou Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Hi, I got chkdsk to run at startup, but since it's taking too long, I'd like to abort it. How do I do that? Neither ctrl-c nor ESC respond. Thanks! Raph

Probably an old wife's tale, repeated time and again. On the other hand I don't really have the time to damage the file structure on a test disk, let chkdsk fix it and see if pulling the plug makes things worse. So I'll accept your assessment, untested and unproven as it may be.
