Hi, these commands are really very simple you will need to run them to resolve your problem. Note all commands assume your OS is on C drive if not please change the C to whatever your drive is. (C is default). First when you open registry start run type regedit press enter and navigate to:-
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Change the BootExecute entry from:
autocheck autochk * /.
To:
autocheck autochk *
You say you have done this just making sure.
Next go to start, all programs, accessories, command prompt right click on command prompt and select run as administrator a CMD prompt will open. At the prompt copy and paste this command and press enter (to do this you will see the command prompt and there will be a blinking cursor place your mouse arrow on the cursor and right click select "paste" then press enter )
Code:
fsutil dirty query C:
At this stage the result should say the drive is dirty if clean thats ok.
Next still in CMD prompt a new blinking cursor will be there do the same (copy paste this command) press enter
Almost done reboot your computer and it should start normally no chkdsk.
Now go back to another command prompt (same way as above) and at the prompt (copy paste)
You should be told that the drive is in use and be given an option of running chkdsk at next boot say "Y" and reboot. This should fix the dirty drive issue.
After this the system will run a cdkdsk and restart normally you should have no further problems Post back to let us know how you got on.
