This is a tip on how to run checkdisk in Windows XP on startup.
Usually when running checkdisk - chkdsk.exe , only the drive that contain locked Operating System files on Windows XP will be ask to run checkdisk on startup. However there is a another command that can be use in Windows XP to run checkdisk on every drives on Windows XP startup.
To run checkdisk on every drives at startup in Windows XP:
- Run command prompt. Go to start menu > Run
- Type “cmd.exe” without the quote
- At the command prompt, type “chkntfs /D” without the quote

This will restores Windows XP to the default behavior and all drives are checked at boot time and checkdisk - chkdsk is run on those that are dirty.
