When I run check disk on the system drive and it reboot, I get no screen. I
get the boot screen, the select OS, everything - except the diagnostics from
check disk. I reboot, get all the splash screens, menus, etc...but when it
gets to the check disk part, when you get the blue screen with all the white
text that displays whats going on, I can't see anything - I get no video
output. After it is done...everything is fine and I'm in XP no problems.
I know its running. I can hit ESC to cancel it. I can wait for the hours
as it scans the HDD and it fixed the problems.
But I'm just wondering why I'm not able to see what going on at just this
point.

That's because the output from chkdsk is recorded in the Event Logger,
visible with eventvwr.exe.

Thanks for the quick reply. Kinda explains it...

So no more blue screen with output? :(

That's odd ... everytime I run a chkdsk /f c: and tell it to check on next
reboot, I get a nice blue screen that shows me what's going on with chkdsk.

What does you system say ... all out systems perform the same way.
I see Security Descriptors checking, USN Journal checking, ....

mine doesn't say anything...it seems like i just don't get video output on
the checkdisk on reboot, which is just strange. Everything else I see no
problem except on the check disk utility - that usually has the blue screen
with white text that say... checking c drive, press esc to cancel...

I know the check disk utiltiy is working and doing its thing...I schedule it
- I press esc and boot. I schedule and let it run...and wait the hour or 2
and it finishs. I just don't get to see anything. But I know its running or
it ran...

was wondering if there was some reg setting to supress the display
information...

Right Click on Drive C, Select Properties, Tools and chose Check Now. Check
all options to check Drive C.

Then open regedit and check the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager

In the right panel check what is set for BootExecute.

Post back what you find.

Note: The next time you reboot, the system will check Drive C: based on
what you set. This will happen only once.

Normally that key only has:

BootExecute REG_MULTI_SZ autocheck autochk *

Hey, did you ever get this problem fixed? I have the very same issues.
Before about 6 mo. ago I always got the blue diagnositc status screen when my
notebook did its chkdsk but now I get the boot up screen and then everything
goes black for about an hour until the chkdsk is finished. I never get to
see whats going on as the screen is always black. Even when I chkdsk
external hard drive enclosures I get the same problem. If anyone can tell me
how to get back my chkdsk blue status screen I would be grateful.

thx
Mack
