Scandisk on bootup

Scandisk on bootup

Hi all

I have run into a very strange problem. My company desktops update via WSUS - they are mostly Win7 machines but we have a few WinXP too. Recently all desktops are running a scandisk when powered on...its as if their file structure is corrupted. Going into their event viewer I found this error on all desktops: "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume OS." Then what I did is that I ve run SFC /SCANNOW and then CHKDSK C: /F /R. Unfortunately problem persists....this scandisk keeps coming up!!

Can you suggest something on how I can force it not to come up ??

Thanks a lot guys

 

Hi,
This sometimes worked on XP and should also work on Vista or Windows 7.

Click on Start then Run , type cmd and press Enter . Next type fsutil dirty query x: where x: is your boot drive. This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty.
Next, type chkntfs /x c: . The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive on the next reboot. Now manually reboot your computer, it should not do a chkdsk and should take you directly to normal Windows login.
Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another Command Prompt and enter chkdsk c: /r . Reply Y when asked if you want this to happen on the next boot. This should take you through 5 stages of the chkdsk scan and will unset that dirty bit. This can take an hour or more depending on the size of your hard drive, be patient and let it complete.
Once booted back to Windows, open another Command Prompt and query the dirty bit again by entering fsutil dirty query c: and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive.
