Seems that u hv disabled Automatic Scandisk at boottime.

U can try this!

Open regedit and nevigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

In right-side pane, look for a key, named BootExecute and double-click on it and delete the whole Value Data, if present! i.e., set its value blank!

hey, i experienced the same problem...no, i did not switch my comp off directly...the case is that my U.P.S is not functioning and my computer just switches off upon power failure.

i have followed your advice Vishal Gupta but its looking a little risky to me....you sure it will work?

another reason for my computer shutting off is frequent blue screens...

 

[thetopcyborg]

the method is not working....just now, the lights went out and my computer shut off...upon starting it, no SCANDISK came....by the way, after adopting your method, my computer started showing a dialog on startup that the registry was corrupt and it had to be recovered from a log or alternate copy.

I also dont get any scan disk after power failure or direct reset. I have 5 partitions, three NTFS (including C and two FAT32. i have noticed that only if there is any activity( opening a file etc) going on when the power fails only then does scandisk automatically start and that to only in the FAT32 partition. Strange
