Continual disk check

[Doug]

Every boot og Vista Home Premium PC asks for c: disk to be checked. In
msconfig I disabled all services and all startup items, but 3 reboots called
for disk check each time. I let the disk check run each time.
However, if I start in Safe mode, the first start takes a long time (I
assume it is doing the disk check) then restarts. From then on, r reboots in
safe mode did not ask for a disk check. The first normal reboot after safe
mode does not ask for the dsik check.

What is my next step in debugging/fixing?

You've missed the point. My problem is the reverse - chkdsk ALWAYS runs at
startup

 

[Doug]

scf /scannow is the first thing I ran a week ago. It didn't fix the problem.
Only starting in safe mode prevents chkdsk running at startup. Something is
marking C: as DIRTY, but it isn't a service or a startup item.

My apologies - I must be one of those dumb people.
When I went to your answer, FIRST STEP was at the bottom of the display and
I assumed that was Step One. This mroning I scrolled down and found STEP ONE.

I'll try the fix as soon as I can.
BTW your replies are difficuklt to read with all the >>>> in them.

Thanks

Those >>> marks are added by the news reader agent and not the poster.
They can get annoying on long threads if all the stuff gets reposted.

Well, I did everything required but it still cjecks disk every boot.
BTW my autocheck command was autocheck autochk * Isdelete.
I removed the Isdelete word, should I have?

I don't know if it is related, but this Vista HP fails the update to SP1
with "smalle.fon" errors.
