Before I begin, please let me say chkdsk.exe is a utility conceived in iniquity and
born in sin. In other words - it is crap. This has been covered in other threads
though, so I'm going to move on to. .
Autochk.exe. My problem is that I scheduled a disk check using chkdsk and now autochk
has put that little registry entry into my registry to check the disk for errors.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute
After checking the disk, it reboots, and then upon re-booting tries to check the
disk again. Hence, the looping referred to in the post title. Now, I know how to
stop it from doing this - I can either delete autochk.exe, or remove the entries
in the registry, but my question is WHAT is causing this looping? Why doesn't it
just fix the drive and then boot into Windows XP?
Also - when I run chkdsk from the command line I get a message that the drive is
clean. When I run chkdsk /v /f
I get a message that there are minor incosistencies. Considering the number of times
that I've run chkdsk in the aforementioned loop, shouldn't it have cleared up all
errors or do they re-occur upon re-booting? Crap crap crap, I say.
thanks for your patience.
