  • Scandisk Doesn't Run After Bad Shutdown !!

    From S S Robert@dontspam@dont.com to comp.os.ms-windows.misc,microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion on Sunday, July 13, 2003 12:04:18
    From Newsgroup: comp.os.ms-windows.misc

    I have Cyrix MII processor based PC. I have installed MS Windows-98 (Second Edition - version: 4.10.2222 A).
    My problem is that after a Bad Shutdown (for power failure, system crash etc.....) when I restart my computer, the Scandisk doesn't run before the Windows loads - which is causing Hard Disk error frequently.
    I have checked Msconfig ->General->Advanced : and "Disable Scandisk after
    bad shutdown" is NOT checked there !

    Please advise what should I do to fix this problem.

    Regards
    Sanjoy

    Hi Sanjoy,

    Start/find/files, look for scandisk.alt - if it exists delete it. It is a leftover from having Norton's installed, and its existence interferes with
    the normal operation of the Windows disk utility.
