W Wesley Vogel Jun 25, 2004 #3 This seems to be a very common problem recently. Do you have ZoneAlarm 5 ?? [[Since the new version 5.0 of TrueVector accesses the disk so early in the boot-sequence, CHKDISK cannot run with the /F option at boot-time, because it needs to access the disk directly.]] Uninstall ZA5 and install an earlier version. Or get the ZA update that fixes this problem.
