(xp pro sp1) autochk.exe not found

[onio]

yesterday, after a power failure, I got a blue screen with the message
"systemroot\windows\system32\autochk.exe not found"

(but I see autocheck.exe in the sys32 folder)

what happens? and how to fix this?

I am also running Xp Pro Sp1, and as above, when I boot my computer, I get
the message "Autochk.exe not found". My system boots normally after that and
everything seems to be working fine. When I perform a "Search" for this file,
it is found, but I guess it isn't working. Do I need to be concerned that
autochk does not run? If so, how do I get to the command prompt that you
mentioned?
Thanks.

Hi,

Autochk.exe is used in conjunction with chkdsk.exe to run error checking.
Your system has a dirty bit set that is looking to run this check. Click
start/run and type cmd, then click ok. From the prompt, run:

chkntfs /d

then hit <enter>. Then close the window, this should clear the bit so that
the system no longer tries to run error checking at startup.
