? Restart Loop "*rain*drops*" <rain[ at ]oregon.net> 25.04.2007 19:05:39 Help! My computer is looping -- startup > checkdisk > restart > checkdisk > restart > checkdisk Last night, I tried to run checkdisk,and got a question -- do I want to run chkdsk on the next startup? I said yes. This morning, the computer won't get past the chkdsk. I had to startup in Last Known Good Confirguration. QUESTION: How do I make sure it doesn't run chkdsk at startup again? -- *rain*drops*

Re: ? Restart Loop "*rain*drops*" <rain[ at ]oregon.net> 04.05.2007 01:16:35 Thanks for the suggestions. I booted from a boot-up disk. It went away after that. BTW, what is fdisk /mbr? -- *rain*drops* "Poohba" <poohba[ at ]blkpoohba.dyndns.org> wrote in message news:TK-dnTOOL_6_ya7bnZ2dnUVZ_jmdnZ2d[ at ]comcast.com...
