I need to stop scandisk from starting???

[Guest]

I selected scandisk to scan each of my partitions while I was in Explore.
Windows says it can only do it when it restarts so I shut down and let it
restart. Now the scandisk starts on the last partition first and when it
gets to the next one it crashes and restarts the computer. The whole thing
starts all over again and keeps rebooting. I need to stop this loop. I can
get access to the hard drive files using another windows install so can
someone tell me what file to delete to kill the scandisk request??? I am
using Windows XP Pro on my system. There must be a way to just kill the
scandisk request before the Windows startup.

You might try putting your computer in Safe Mode and then selecting "Last
Known Good Configuration" and see if this will get you out of the loop that
you are in .Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307852/
