XP disk check won't run on bootup

I scheduled a full scan/fix of the file system on drive D:, which is where Windows
XP is installed. Since this cannot be run while the OS is up, the system let me
schedule it for the next boot-up.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work - the scheduled scan/fix starts, then after a message
saying the type of file system for drive D: is NTFS, it gives me an error message
about being unable to lock/access/whatever the drive. It then proceeds to boot up
normally. It now does this every time I boot up - there seems to be no way to look
for and/or cancel a scheduled operation of this sort (bringing up the "Tools" in
explorer doesn't show any indication that this operation is scheduled, though it
would happily let me schedule another scan).
So, there are two annoyances in one here:
1. Why the sam hill isn't the scan/fix operation running?
2. How can I cancel this operation so that it doesn't slow my boot up every friggin'
time I reboot?
Thanks...

Note: you can find help about the Registry in "Registry tips" (Annoyances.org sidebar).
- Start Menu, Run, REGEDIT.EXE, click on OK.
- Open this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CurrentControlSet\control\Session
Manager.
- Doubleclick on the BootExecute value. Delete all the lines except the
following: autocheck autochk *
- Save the value by clicking on Ok. Exit Registry Editor and reboot.
It can also be applied on each ControlSet.

Ok. My procedure is too complex.
Go to Start Menu, Run, and type the following command in the textbox:
chkntfs /x d:
...and click on Ok. According to the Windows documentation, this command will
force excluding a drive from the boot scan.

Thank you. Now if only I could figure out why it didn't work!

One more correction i have tried my own.
Delete the exact line mentioned not EXCEPT. So to clear things, if you like to UNCHECK
the automatic checkdisk just delete that line mentioned in the post "autocheck autochk
*"
make export to your registry file first just to be sure 100%.
Good Luck
