I have an Emachine laptop running windows XP home edition. It was running
fine ... switched off normally but the next day I turned it on it
started booting (gets to the normal windows XP screen displayed during
boot ) then came up with message " autochk program not found - skipping
autocheck " , it then rebooted and repeated this action again and again .

Google turns up a lot of hits for this problem. It seems that third-party
software like BootIt NG or Norton GoBack is reponsible. Here's one page:

http://pchell.com/support/autochknotfound.shtml

Went to site .... made a bootable CD with PTEDIT file on and checked
partition with the "partition table editor" and the partition values are
correct (reset the value and saved it just to make sure). Rebooted and still
the same prob .Also on the site it said a missing mountmgr.sys file in
system32 could cause this problem ... checked and it is there.
Thanks to everyone
Terry
