To prevent autochk to from running on a FAT partition upon the next reboot: To stop the execution of chkdsk /F /R, you must edit the registry using Registry Editor. WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 2000 to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk. 1. Run the Registry Editor(Regedt32.exe). 2. Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager 3. Change the BootExecute entry from: autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: To: autocheck autochk * If you have scheduled chkdsk for multiple volumes, there will be an autocheck entry for each volume. Delete the string from the BootExecute registry value for each volume you do not want checked. This procedure will reset the default string, and chkdsk /F /R will not run on reset.
