Chkdsk.exe runs without being scheduled.

[Nancy]

My event log shows that my partition is corrupted and now, every time
the PC boots up, chkdsk runs.

Nothing is ever shown corrupted in the results and I can use the drive
with no problems.

I followed the instructions on the Microsoft KB article, and ran
chkdsk from the command prompt. Again not a thing is found to be
wrong with the partition.

So I downloaded a file from Kelly's Korner that stopped chkdsk from
running every time my computer starts.

That worked great but the only thing is that I cannot run disk
defragmenter on that drive. When I click to analyze the drive, a
message pops up stating that chkdsk is scheduled to run and to run a
chkdsk from the recovery council. It will not let me defragment the
drive.



All I want is to be able to defragment.

After that I will enter the registry file from Kelly's Korner again if
need be.

Is there somewhere I can stop this schedule of chkdsk?

I checked my scheduled tasks and it isn't there.



Thanks.



Nancy

Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..

Did you run CHKDSK /P from the Recovery Console?

Well, I am wondering the same thing. Where do I go to see scheduled
events that run at startup (besides the "Scheduleded Tasks" program
[nothing shows up there])?

Thanks,
