That might be worth reading too.
Good recall! You saw it here -- the links I provided in post 14 of this thread:

Windows XP crash

Re: CHKDSK cannot check C: Drive on bootup (XP)

God some good new and some bad news.

Bad news:
AUTOCHK still wont check C: drive on bootup.

Good news:
Running chkdsk in XP on C: does not detect errors anymore, since I ghosted C: drive to another HDD. When I used Partition Magic to resize the old HDD's partitions, it detected there was a problem with C: and asked if I wanted to format it. So it appears that CHKDSK was reporting errors due to a partition problem (possibly caused by the installation of Vista)



But year, AUTOCHK still wont check C: Drive

Re: CHKDSK cannot check C: Drive on bootup (XP)

It works now! lol

Before it happened, I did this:

Uninstalled the onboard audio drivers in XP
Rebooted and disabled onboard audio in the BIOS
Powered the PC off.
Remove TV Tuner card and Installed a new PCI Soundcard, then booted up.
For some reason, the BIOS had a winge about my overclock, so I defaulted the speed from 3.2GHz back to 2.67GHz and booted up.

Then suddenly chkdsk checked C: drive. Now it works all the time.

All the software is exactly the same (except for the audio drivers).


Dont ask me what fixed it, I cant figure it out lol
