when I schedule a boot-time disk check with "chkdsk /f <drive>:" and

When I run "chkntfs c:", it tells me "The type of the file system is
NTFS. Chkdsk has been scheduled manually to run on next reboot on
volume C:." But when I reboot, nothing happens. That is, if there is
another drive scheduled to be checked, it does get checked. But never
the C: drive. If I run "chkntfs c:" right after boot, it comes back
with the same message, that a boot-time check is scheduled. 

Can somebody please help me out here? How do I get the boot time chkdsk
for my C: drive back?



Does it work ok through the Windows interface?

No, it's the same thing. Scheduling through the Drive Properties works with
all drives except the C: drive. The C: drive still doesn't get checked
during boot, and running "chkntfs c:" immediately after boot still shows
that the drive is manually scheduled for a check.

Thanks,

Can you boot to the Recovery Console? If so, run CHKDSK /P and see if that will work.
