Hi, I was looking if someone knows how to fix this little problem. I got Windows 7 installed in a Windows Vista laptop 3 days ago. Now everytime I boot the computer, it always wants to check the Local Disk C: for it's consistency. I let it do it the first 2 times, and the checkup does end, but still, it always asks for it in every startup. What do I do to stop this?

Start> Run> (or windows key + R) and type CMD and then type fsutil dirty query c:
This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next type CHKNTFS /X C:

This X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive (C) on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.

Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing Chkdsk /f /r c:

This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally type fsutil dirty query c: and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive.




Another option is to edit the registry but I would suggest the first idea first.

Run regedit
Edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Session Manager
Change the BootExecute entry from:
autocheck autochk * /.
To:
autocheck autochk *
