I converted all my partitions to NTFS except one, and both installs of XP
Home insist on checking F: (NTFS) on bootup, even though they only found
something wrong with it the first time. How can I set the F: has been
checked switch?

Q. I have a CHKDSK scheduled to start next reboot, but I want to stop it.

A. If the command chkdsk /f /r (find bad sectors, recover information from
bad sectors and fix errors on the disk) is run, on the next reboot the check
disk is scheduled, however you may want to cancel this check disk. To do
this perform the following:

Run the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). You must use Regedt32 and not
Regedit.exe
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Change the BootExecute value from:
autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\<drive letter>:
To:
autocheck autochk *

I looked into that, but it's already that way without the drive letter and
all.

But it still checks F: every time.

Maybe there's something on F: like an ini file?
 
I had to reformat F:. That fixed it.

But, was there another way -- something I could have found and deleted on
F:?
