Hello..

Does Windows 2000 run a chkdsk whenever it boots up? An ungraceful shutdown will do the disk check but what if it is a graceful reboot?

Does any Windows version has this behaviour??

Thanks in advance,

Windows will only run a chkdsk on a bad shutdown or restart... and only if it detects possible file system errors. If you are using FAT32, a disk check will run after every improper shutdown, but NTFS is much more stable and resiliant.

Thanks a lot for your response..

is there any provision to check whether windows has done a disk check on its last reboot??

I have a machine installed with Windows 2000 Server. There was a couple of reboots initiated. And I didnt see my machine booting up and I dont have any idea about whether it has done a chkdsk. But I want to find whether it has run a chkdsk during those reboots.

How do I check this?? Any ideas???

Check the event log... that should tell you whether or not chkdsk was run... also right-click on the hard drive, hit properties and it should tell you when the disk was last checked for errors.
