ISSUE:
When the computer is booting up, black screen comes up and says it is running a disk check. But it cancels automatically before the time is up. No keys are pushed by user, it just cancels and boots. This solution for in my case, an MSI GT70 Dominator Pro Laptop running Windows 7.
SOLUTION:
1. Run msconfig
- Go to Start, type msconfig in the search box and in the results, click msconfig.exe
- Go to the boot tab and make sure that "no GUI boot" is NOT checked! Save but do not reboot yet.
2. Run Command Prompt
- Go to Start, type “cmd.exe” in the search box and in the results, right click cmd.exe and choose Run as Administrator. The black command screen with white text will open.
- Type, or copy/paste the following commands and press enter after each command:
chkntfs /d
chkntfs /t:0
chkntfs /c C:
chkdsk /r
EXPLANATION:
chkntfs /d
- this resets the chkdsk and autochk settings to default
chkntfs /t:0
- this sets the timer to 0 seconds...so things will run before they can be cancelled.
chkntfs /c C:
- tells it what drive to check
chkdsk /r
- look for and fix everything
