Hi all,
I am trying to create a script (BAT File) to automate some processes.
I want to run chkdsk c: /R
off course I am always asked to answer Y to run on next boot.
How can I get around this as I wish to setup the script to run like 2AM
when no one is around.

I already have autologin and auto shutdown and reboot setup and
functioning but I cannot get chkdsk to accept a Y answer.

Thanx for your help,
Mark

Schedule the reboot.

Using Task Scheduler to schedule the computer to shut down and restart at a
specific time

Two questions...

Why would you want this to happen?
How often do you want it to happen?

I have shutdown sorted, just wanted to run chkdsk c: /R without having
to answer Y to run checkdisk on next boot.

Yeah I have been thinking about it, its not really something u need to
run each week. But it would be nice to have it set to happen like once
a month.

Its just an auto defrag, spybot and cleanup for customers who have no
idea how to run this stuff.

My two cents? Put them on NTFS and don't worry about it. XP is pretty good
about it and NTFS is really good at it. If it needs it, it will run.
