CHKDSK will not stop...

Hello all. Any help appreciated!
My computer recently crashed, and on reboot it ran CHKDSK (found no errors).
Now, it runs it everytime I startup. Additionaly, I have 2 monitors
installed (one powers up only for the boot process, and then turns off to
allow my other monitor to run for normal use - a setup I use because my old
monitor will not fit the new video card I installed). The CHKDSK runs on the
boot monitor, but then remains powered up while the 2nd monitor turns on. So
I have 2 monitors running simultaneously, despite disabling the 1st in the
hardware manager.

Any ideas?

To stop the execution of CHKDSK /F /R, you must edit the registry using
Registry Editor.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

To stop the execution of CHKDSK /F /R, take the following steps:
1. Run the Registry Editor(Regedt32.exe).
2. Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
3. Change the BootExecute entry from:

autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C:

To:

autocheck autochk *
If you have scheduled CHKDSK for multiple volumes, there will be an
autocheck entry for each volume. Delete the string from the BootExecute
registry value for each volume you do not want checked.

This procedure will reset the default string, and CHKDSK /F /R will not run
