startup: autochk not found

G

Guest

When I startup Windows 2000 prof I get a message ( on the Windows error
screen) : autochk not found, skipping AUTOCHECK. It takes more that 5 minutes
to boot and my machine is very slow. I searched for autochk.exe and I have it
in c:\winnt\system32. Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Check Event Viewer for errors. When you view the logged events in Event
Viewer (double-click them in the right-hand pane) in the upper right corner,
third button down is a copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body of
a reply message.

Please do so for each of the different System Log events (that are a Type:
'Error' or 'Warning') since last boot so we can see all of the event detail.

Check Device Manager for error codes and or non-starting devices.

Thanks for your quick reply. I am pasting all the errors since I booted
today. The sevice manager did not show anything.

Thanks. The first article is only for WinXP. Is there anything I can do or do
I need to get new hardware?

I can only hope my machine will start up again tomorrow.

I need to get new hardware?
