boot up

[swade.i]

I am running Vista and have made chkdsk (checkdisk) enabled on boot now I want to stop it from going all through the checks as it takes so long and my laptop is new. Sorry that I can't recall what I did so that I could reverse it! Put it down to a senior moment!

Well on XP it was simple

 

Click START - RUN then type CMD press enter

 

now type fsutil dirty query D: (your drive here for example D: ) this will querie the drive and probably tell you its dirty

 

next type CHKNTFS /X D: (again your drive here for example D: ) the X will tell it not to check that drive on startup

 

Reboot

 

Run a manual checkdisk Chkdsk /f /r d:

 

finally run fsutil dirty query d: and it should be clean

 

a lot of things remain the same on Vista so i hope this works ill check back later

Hi

I have just used upgrade disk for vista and it seems to be running ok,

But on start up or restart it keeps stopping at,

 

Windows Boot Manager with highlight your choice windows vista already highlighted press enter or in 30 secs it will do it auto,

 

Can anyone help to get this to boot automatically like it did on XP without keep stopping at this screen other than that it seems fine ? i hope.

 

Best Regards

Jim.
