Should XP auto-reboot after CHKDSK?

I use XP Pro. It is on an NTFS partition.

I scheduled a disk check by selecting the option to Error Check the
disk in the tools tab of the C drive's properties. I asked it to
autmatically fix any errors.

I rebooted the PC and I got an XP logo and then the disk check ran.
After the disk check the PC rebooted itself.

Is this normal? Or does this point to some sort of problem?

That is normal after doing its check of the disk. If you need to see the
results of the check, go to "Computer management", then "Event Viewer", then
look for "Winlogon" in the mani pane, and open that up, it will tell you the
results.

CHKDSK runs before Windows XP boots, when it has been
scheduled. As the computer begins to boot, it detects the
command, boots the to just the command line, runs and then
when finished reboots into Windows XP GUI. So, it is
normal.

If you multiple drives or partitions you can run chkdsk on
the non-system partitions and that will run in the GUI
immediately.

If you read the blurb before rebooting you would know that
this is normal.
