How to Clear CHKDSK From Running After a Reboot

CHKDSK is a Windows utility that runs on the computer whenever there is a problem with a hard drive. If your computer is repeatedly attempting to run the CHKDSK program when you boot, you can disable it by running a command through the Windows command prompt. Be aware, however, that if you don't allow CHKDSK to fix the problem, it could get worse.

Instructions

    • 1

      Click "Start" and click "Run."

    • 2

      Type "CMD.EXE" into the "Open" dialog box and then click the "OK" button.

    • 3

      Type "chkntfs /x Z:" where "Z:" is the drive letter that CHKDSK attempts to scan whenever you reboot the computer. Press the "Enter" key and CHKDSK no longer runs when you reboot the computer.
