| 95359 | 2002-11-02 03:36:00 | Hi! I have a pc with 2 hard disk - C, D. C is a new one and I have my win xp there while D is an old one and i only used it as unimportant files backup because it already got bad sectors. My problem is everytime I boot up, win xp will try to scandisk (checkdisk) the D harddrive and hanging. Therefore I have to cancel the process before the timer runs out which mean, I have to wait while the os loading. Anybody have any idea on how to stop the scandisk process? Thanx a lot. | arif (2417) | ||

If chkdsk doesn't complete satisfactorily, the 'dirty bit' will not be reset, and there fore the cycle will continue. Open a command window ("Start/Run/Cmd") and enter Chkntfs /x d: . This will exclude the startup check for the D: volume (even for FAT type volumes). If at some stage you satisfactorily can fully run chkdsk on the D: volume, you can re-instate potential startup checks with Chkntfs /c d: |
