How To Stop Chkdsk From Running At Startup

1
From your Windows desktop, click on "Start" and select "Run". Bring up the computer's command prompt by typing "CMD" into the address bar.

2
Type "fsutil dirty query d:" into the command prompt. This checks the computer's drive; most likely, it will encounter errors.

Manually reboot the computer; chkdsk should not run, and you should be brought to your normal Windows desktop.

Bring up another command prompt and type "Chkdsk /f /r d:" in order to run chkdsk on the offending, damaged drive. This will run the scan and uncover the contaminated files.

6
Type "fsutil dirty query d:" into the command prompt; this will confirm that the damaged files have been repaired and that the drive no longer contains any errors.
