One more glitch with my Aspire One

Over the weekend I had a problem getting onto a wired network at a hotel, they sent a tech to the room while I was at a show. Since then every time I boot up it goes through check disk during the boot, everything works fine. I just went into control panel and did a full check disk figuring it may fix it, NG still goes through check disk upon reboot! I am not having any fun today!

Have you run "msconfig" and selected your start up items? If you need a hand with msconfig, post back

Did they maybe install some program that won't shut down properly? Check "add/remove programs" and see what is in there that maybe you do not know about.

 

Google turned this up from a guy called "Claymore" (no experience with this myself):

Change the following according to your drive letter.

Go to Start => Run and type in "cmd" {without the quotes} to open a
Command window.
Type in "chkntfs C:" {without the quotes}
It should tell you if the dirty bit is set ("C: is dirty"). This means
the drive is flagged to be scanned with chkdsk.

If it is, type in (or copy/paste) "chkntfs /x C:" {without the quotes}
Note the spaces before and after /x
This will prevent chkdsk from scanning drive C: at startup.

To reset it to normal, again open a Command window, and type in
"chkntfs /d"

 

chkntfs /x C Worked great! But with a reset it went right back to checking the disk. I will run a full Ck Disk and retrey.
