Have you ever experienced auto checkdisk when you turn on your computer or notebook? Auto Chekdisk on Windows XP will appear when we turn off the computer by force or because of power outages.
I experienced it a few days ago because I often turn off my notebook by force. Autocheckdisk always comes up even though I have been doing repairs on the system performance. I tried to defragment the disk but fails because there is message showing “schedule checkdisk on the next restart”.
But after I check further and do some treatment on my notebook, eventually autocheckdisk at startup never comes back. Want to know how I fix the problem autocheckdisk? Here it is:
1. Open a command prompt via Start -> Run. Write "cmd" and press OK.
2. At the command prompt, type "fsutil dirty query", then press Enter. For example, if that error on drive C, type fsutil dirty query C:
In my case, the error is drive F, the first step is point to drive F root by typing F:
then type fsutil dirty query F:
3. If true, a notification appears if the destination drive was DIRTY
4. Type "chkdsk /f". If the file system is NTFS hard drive, just use the command "chkdsk /f /x". (Remember, do not use option /x if the system is not NTFS).
5. If Windows ask chkdsk should be scheduled when the startup process, select Yes. If not go to step 6.
6. Once the scan is complete, repeat step number 2. You should now see a message that says that the drive that was scanned had been NOT DIRTY.
7. Now try to restart your PC/notebook. If the process is right, look at the startup disk check will not appear again.
8. If its still show that means your hard drive is retiring soon. Back-up all important data to CD or DVD, continues to re-format the hard drive wrote earlier, with a note, you already do not need the data in it.
So what is the command "fsutil" which was written in the command prompt? This is a utility to make PC management to drive of either FAT or NTFS file system. I also know if there are new practical utility like this in Windows XP (the lg utility recondite Microsoft).
The command "fsutil dirty query" will report the status of "clean" or "unclean" a drive. If the status is dirty, Windows will perform the scan every time the startup process. This is the culprit of my problem. The status seems not so clean despite repeatedly scanned.
The command "chkdsk /f" will force Windows chkdsk process, regardless of the status of the destination drive dirty or not. With this command, chkdsk will also make improvements to the existing error.
The command "chkdsk /f /x" can only using that on NTFS systems. Option /x will ensure every drive "locked" (dismount) before the chkdsk done.
