No automatic chkdsk run...

[Thomas Johansen]

Hi

I have some USB-Key's with bad partion. When my Win2k PC is restarted with
on of them in, automatic chkdsk is run at boot, at repairs the partition as
is should.

But when booting from my WindowsXP embedded image, no chkdsk is run. I do
not use EWF and the switch /NOGUIBOOT isn't anabled in my boot.ini.

If I run "chkntfs c: /c" in XPe to mark the volume as dirty, XPe still don't
run chkdsk at boot.
If I right click and select to run chkdsk on the the volume from the chkdsk
gui (With auto repair), chkdsk in run at boot.

So why can't my XPe image run chkdsk automatically on volumes that are dirty
? ....but it can, when selected by the GUI ??

I forgot to ask what happens if you have dirty bit set on HDD partition?

Thomas,

How do you verify the chkdsk or chkntfs ran well? Check the multi-string
reg.value "BootExecute" under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager] key.
If should be set to something like "autocheck autochk /i
\??\C: autocheck autochk *" if the tool ran properly.

Also, how do you reboot/shutdown your XPe device? You haven't mentioned what
shell or logon scheme you implemented. Try using xpepm (if minLogon) or
shutdown.exe (if Winlogon used) to gracefully shutdown. Check the registry
value offline (just load the runtime image system hive in regedit on a XP
Pro machine) to verify that the autocheck is set.

Nothing. After restart, no chkdsk is run and the bit is cleared again

I verifyed visual, by seeing if the tool was run at boot and checked the
dirty bit after.

Thomas,

How do you reboot? (shutdown.exe/ExWindowsEx,etc.?)
Also, could you access the HDD offline (just before the next boot) and see
if the registry system hive got the right settings under "Session Manager"
key, "BootExecute" value? This way you will know where (if) the actual error
happens.

Start -> Shur down -> restart (Like you close down any other PC)

Also, could you access the HDD offline (just before the next boot) and see
if the registry system hive got the right settings under "Session Manager"
key, "BootExecute" value? This way you will know where (if) the actual error
happens.

Hi

I have some USB-Key's with bad partion. When my Win2k PC is

But when booting from my WindowsXP embedded image, no chkdsk is run.

I

not use EWF and the switch /NOGUIBOOT isn't anabled in my boot.ini.

So why can't my XPe image run chkdsk automatically on volumes that are
