    chkdsk will not run.

    If I am trying to setup chkdsk c: /f to run the next boot of my computer then chkdsk will not start. So, I tried to restart the computer and when the screen appears telling me to cancel chkdsk by hitting any key within 11 seconds and I am also getting another message that appears saying the chkdsk was cancelled, even though I did not press any key. Can anyone suggest what is this problem and how to solve it? Thanks

    I think that there might be some missing or corrupt files so try to type SFC /SCANNOW by going to Start and then run. If you schedule chkdsk.exe, then autochk.exe runs at the next startup of the computer and it seems that the autochk.exe is fine since you get the countdown. But when you have some dirty volume then autochk.exe will automatically try to run at startup. You can also try to prevent autochk.exe >> chkdsk.exe from running by using the chkntfs.exe with /x parameter by going into the command prompt. You can also try to make a BartPE boot disk and then run the chkdsk from there.

    Thank you for the reply. I have ran that program you suggested and it found some files that it wanted to replace but it didnt tell me anything about what the problem was or even with any files.

    Re: chkdsk will not run.

    Getting Chkdsk to run at boot up was driving me crazy.I could get arround the problem using the Recovery Console, but that was not a pemanent solution.
    (chkdsk has been cancelled!!!) Was the norm !
    While reading a Microsoft Data Help sheet I found the following solution.
    (Type into Run) (windows Xp)
    chkntfs /d
    Enter .
    This command resets chkdsk to default and now it works as normal

    Simple when you know how ! It worked for me and sorted out the chkdsk problem ,it is worth a try !
