    Chkdsk Turns Itself Off At Boot


    I recently developed a quirk on one of my systems. All are running Windows 7 Pro and running on a wired home network through a Netgear WNDR4500. On one machine, a Lenovo, if I tell it to run chkdsk on the C: drive at the next boot, it will seem to take the command properly. At the next boot, it will show the chkdsk message to hit a key if I want to abort. No key is hit, but it will suddenly abort as if one was and then resume the boot process.

    Now the stranger part. If I tell it two different ways to run chkdsk (say once using the Properties/Tools in My Computer and then once from the command line), it will fail the same way and then turn around and run it a second time successfully.

    This is a bit irritating and I'm wondering if something has become corrupted, though I can't find any problems. Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior and, hopefully, a remedy short of reinstalling 350 gig of operating system, applications and data?

    I tried that, but no joy. It does indicate corrupted files that it cannot repair. The system runs perfectly except for this chkdsk issue though and I hate to start over without serious operational problems as it ties up a couple of days to get it all done.

    You have problems with Windows 7 System Files. If they don't bother you it's okay with me also.
    Have a nice day.
