Windows 7: chkdsk running everytime I restart my computer

lakers0428 · 08 Jul 2010

Guys, I am having an issue with chkdsk running everytime I restart my computer. I ran full diagnostics and everything was okay.

I press f8 at startup and try to do system repair but it just boots normally and takes me to the same screen that says it will do chkdsk and starts counting down to 1 second and sometimes freezes there. What can I do to resolve this issue?

I am running win 7 on a laptop

Dear Shawn, thanks for the tip. I tried your advice but it didnt work. In fact, autocheck autochk * was stated in the registry.

I do not know what to do. I am all out of ideas.

Which diagnostics did you run? Windows, or the hard drive manufacturers? (Or both?)

i solved the issue. went to command prompt using adminstrative privilege and disabled chkdsk. Restarted computer, and the chkdsk startup was gone. Then, went to command prompt and re-initialized chkdsk to come up on next restart. Restarted and boom, it went through an actual chkdsk, took an hour, checked out everything and cleaned the disk. Now everything is right in the world of computers.

My disk was dirty according to command prompt. thanks for the help guys.
