Vista chkdsk wont skip
I've tried everything and I'm about to format and reinstall vista if I can't
get any help. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64. My computer boots up fine gets to the windows splash screen then does chkdsk and freezes after checking drive C:. Restarting causes it to get to the Windows splash screen again and run chkdsk and freeze after checking C:. I cannot get out of this loop as my keyboard stops working at the Windows splash screen. Even using a PS2 keyboard has the same result. I have tried the following: Going into the vista repair setup thing running command prompt and typing chkntfs /x c: d: e: and then restarting. it still runs chkdsk it still freezes and I still cannot skip chkdsk. I sheduled these myself but did not expect them to freeze. I cannot stop them from checking and every time I let it run through it freezes. Can someone please help. |

click start,computer. right-click your C: drive. select "properties". click the tools tab. click the "check now" button. You missed the point, bozo... there is no "scandisk" in Vista. |

Vista chkdsk wont skip
The fact remains that there is no scandisk in Vista (it IS called chkdsk
check disk). We try not to perpetuate inaccuracies, so that everyone speaks the same language. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "kword88" wrote in message ... so what brings you to the forums, then? you obviously arent here to try to help anybody. -- kword88 |

Vista chkdsk wont skip
Its not a failing drive as (if you read all of my post) I scheduled the
chkdsk. All of the drives finish scanning but when it gets to reboot time it freezes. |
