Tips for using disk scanning under Windows XP

When using Windows XP, many people would ask: "Why is the disk scanner missing?" This is because Microsoft put the Windows XP scan disk operation on the operating system. When the Windows log records an abnormal shutdown or a reboot caused by a crash, it will automatically run the ScanDisk at startup. By default, you wait 10 seconds before scanning each partition, and the user can press any key to skip scanning and continue to boot. But if each partition has to wait 10 seconds to start scanning, plus the scan itself takes time, it is also annoying. In fact, if we want to set a partition to automatically scan the disk immediately when it starts, it can be implemented with the chkntfs command. The command format is as follows: chkntfs/dc: where /d is the parameter, which means that all chkntfs defaults are restored. Settings, in addition to the countdown to automatic file checking. The /t [[:]timefIEld] parameter changes the countdown time from the start of the scan to the time value specified in seconds (in seconds). If no time is specified, the /t parameter will display the current countdown time. For example, you can use the chkntfs/t:0 command to set the interval to 0 seconds, which is to perform a disk scan immediately at startup. The /x volume parameter allows the computer to not check the specified volume at startup, even if the volume is marked for detection. For example, if you want to ignore the scan C partition when the computer starts, you can type: chkntfs/xc: Tips
There are three points to note when using chkntfs: First, if users want to run chkntfs under Windows 2000/XP, you must Log in as an administrator; second, the /x parameter cannot be used cumulatively. If you type this option multiple times, the previously typed item is replaced with the most recently typed item. So if we want to ignore multiple partitions, we can use "chkntfs /x efgh"; third, users should not be scared by the ntfs in the command, it is also common to the FAT format.
