If the fsutil tool reports that the drive letter is not dirty, the disk checking process will not want to run for that drive. One easy way to determine if a drive letter is marked as dirty and will require auto chkkdsk on boot is to run the command fsutil dirty query C: in Command Prompt.
#Windows xp boot disk only get blank screen windows#
This value is known as a “Dirty bit” and is a single hex value (2 values for Windows 8) that Windows looks at on boot for system drives or when the the external device is inserted. What we have found out is that when Windows detects there has been an improper shutdown or a drive such as a USB flash drive has been ejected before the system has finished with it, a secret value is stored on the drive to let Windows know about the issue and force a Check disk request. Sometimes, even after letting Check disk scan the drive that it wants to, the checking process would still automatically run at next boot and it wants to check the drives again. Simply pressing any key would stop Check disk from running but when you restart your computer, you’ll get this prompt again because Windows still thinks the drive needs scanning and will keep reminding you until it is checked.
To skip disk checking, press any key within 10 seconds(s). You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. The blue colored screen appears on Windows XP or black colored screen for Windows Vista and 7 during boot that says: One of Windows annoying so called “features” is the Windows disk checker ( Chkdsk) being automatically executed whenever you don’t shut down your computer properly.
