Thanks for your reply post. I found the registry entry and deleted it (just
clicled on it and pressed delete.) CHKDSK doesn't run on startup now, which
is good. Instead, it comes up with a momentary message saying bootececute
could not be found. Is there something I should do in order to stop this
message from coming up? (I didn't change "/p \??\C:" with an asterisk, so
maybe that's it?)
