Thanks, I'l try this. But I don't understand: If I don't check the
box and it runs successfully, doesn't that mean the drive is clean?
Also, I have the same problem when I try to do a boot time defrag with
Diskeeper. In this case, I can't do what you suggest. Something else
is stopping chkdsk from running during boot - and it shouldn't.
Thanks.....
