I get the same exact thing. Though mine might be different.
I reboot, it states about the scan, but I can't skip it!!! No matter what key I press, it doesn't skip, though this could be because I have a USB keyboard (I have to test that theory out by unhooking it. Press a key on the laptop or the external keyboard doesn't do anything)
Thing is, sometimes it just...counts down to one, and then does nothing....the hard drive light blinks at some interval, but the computer goes nowhere.
Other times, it counts down and then just goes straight to my login. Totally skipping check.
The drive is always marked as dirty.
Now I have an interesting thing to ask...might you have skype installed?
The other thing is, my laptop is BRAND NEW so there for if it IS a HDD problem...well looks like I will be RMAing my laptop if that is the case.
Oh and I did MANUALLY ask windows to check the disk THROUGHLY recently to try to fix the problem...but it went PISS SLOW...Slower then i have ever seen (and this is a 2.8 GHz with only a 320GB)
Seems win7 has some bugs with things like the HDD kernel or something. Why would they even rewrite code for that? Worked fine in xp and vista so why fix what isn't broke?
If you want it to go away for a while you can do this
If you want to disable check disk on two or more drives, just keep on adding the drives:
chkntfs /X C: D: E:
This will disable check disk on C, D and E drives.
If you want to restore what you have done, that is, enable automatic disk checking on all the drives again, just run the following command:
chkntfs /D
This will restore all the drives to automatic disk checkup.
Method 2: Using Registry
To disable automatic disk checking at Windows startup through registry, go to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
In the right hand pane, double click BootExecute.
The default value of the key is autocheck autochk *
* means every drive is checked for consistency. Just add /K:C at the end before *. /K switch will disable autocheck on C: drive at Windows startup. So the final value should look like this:
autocheck autochk /k:C *
If you want to add more drives, the key should look like this: (disabling C and D drives)
autocheck autochk /k:C /k
*
If you want to restore everything to default, just replace the key with the default one i.e.,
autocheck autochk *
I HIGHLY ADVISE AGAINST KEEPING THIS OFF FOR A EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME!
I am doing this also since i cant even skip it with my computer but if you can I suggest keeping it on.
Someone needs to tell me if this is a bug with win7 or if it really is our hardware.
