Does anyone know of a utility or registry tweak that can set the dirty bit
for hard disks? What I'm trying to do is automate a chkdsk /f at a system
boot.

Thanks,

Steve

To force a chkdsk on each reboot, you can use the Task Scheduler to
invoke this command at start time:

echo Y | chkdsk /F c:
 
If you know what the registry entry is I can show you how to do it at signoff with no user notification.
 
George,

Thanks, but Pegasus solved it.

Pegasus,

Thanks. It's the echo Y | part I needed. I'll write a batch with a series
of the statements you showed me followed by a psshutdown. Should work
great.

Thanks again,

Steve
