Chkntfs.exe is used to disable the automatic running of chkdsk on specific volumes, when Windows restarts from an improper shutdown. Chkntfs can also be used to unschedule a chkdsk if chkdsk /f was used to schedule a chkdsk on an active volume on the next system restart.

Usage:

CHKNTFS volume [...]

CHKNTFS /D

CHKNTFS /T[: time]

CHKNTFS /X volume [...]

CHKNTFS /C volume [...]

volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),

mount point, or volume name.

/D Restores the machine to the default behavior; all drives are

checked at boot time and chkdsk is run on those that are

dirty.

/T: time Changes the AUTOCHK initiation countdown time to the

specified amount of time in seconds. If time is not

specified, displays the current setting.

/X Excludes a drive from the default boot-time check. Excluded

drives are not accumulated between command invocations.

/C Schedules a drive to be checked at boot time; chkdsk will run

if the drive is dirty.

If no switches are specified, CHKNTFS will display if the specified drive is

dirty or scheduled to be checked on next reboot.
