I have it set to run in the morning before my system reboots after backups. Will let you know.

If you set up the task so that it can be "run on Demand". Try running from the task scheduler. You can then confirm that the volume has been marked to run Chkdsk on reboot.

An easy way to see if the volume is marked dirty is to open a command prompt as admin and type

chkntfs c:


After you have confirmed that it is marked dirty and you want to cancel it type:
Quote
chkntfs /x c:

chkntfs /x c: only displayed that the file system was NTFS. No other information. The scheduled task did show as running and the return code is (0x3).

Sorry, I pasted the cancel command into my last post. I meant chkntfs c:

chkntfs /x c: CANCELS!

Run the task. Then use chkntfs c: to CHECK!

If the task DID work it would read:
Quote
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Chkdsk has been scheduled manually to run on next reboot
on volume C:.

If the task didn't work it would read:
QuoteThe type of the file system is NTFS.
C: is not dirty.

I know. I pasted the wrong command into my post. Have too many things going on.
