| 440295 | 2006-03-24 03:17:00 | When rebooting XP Home, chkdsk kicks in automatically and scans my drives, correcting stuff as it goes. Does running cmd: chkdsk /f do anything different? Thanks. |

| 440296 | 2006-03-24 04:30:00 | /F Automatically Fix file system errors on the disk. /X Fix file system errors on the disk, (Win2003 and above) dismounts the volume first, closing all open file handles. /R Scan for and attempt Recovery of bad sectors. /V Display the full path and name of every file on the disk. /L:size NTFS only: change the log file size to the specified number of kilobytes. If size is not specified, displays the current log size and the drive type (FAT or NTFS). /C Skip directory corruption checks. /I Skip corruption checks that compare directory entries to the file record segment (FRS) in the volume's master file table (MFT) |

| 440297 | 2006-03-24 05:04:00 | Thanks for the list PCTek. However I'm not sure if that's anwered my question. When chkdsk runs after a reboot, does it apply any of items on your list by default? IOW, if not, then how does chkdsk fix things? | braindead (1685) | ||
| 440298 | 2006-03-24 05:27:00 | when chkdsk runs on startup, it runs as if you used the /f argument. If you run chkdsk manually, you have to specify the /f argument or it will run in read only mode | Greven (91) | ||
