On boot up pc starts a disk scan

M

MedRxMan

Have a PC running Windows 98 SE.
Never a problem on hang ups on shut down, however on boot up, on many
occasions the disk scan operation starts with the usual message that to
prevent the scan from happening please shut down properly?

any suggestions

Thanks for the link, It appears that Microsoft no longer supplies linksto
the downloads since they stopped support for Windows 98, I did however was
able to verify the file IFSMGR.VXD version and saw that the newer one was a
different version than what I had. I cecked on another Windows 98 PC and
infact had the newer version. I copied the file and replaced the older with
the new, made the registry change as suggested and as of now all seems good.

I did make back ups of the registry and the old file JUST in case.

Thanks again for your pointing me in the right direction.

That would work but is only hiding a problem, Like an ostrich sticking his
head in the sand so as not to see whats happening. Thanks anyway.

IIRC, you should have been able to get the updtae by going to Windows Update and
scanning for updates, then clicking the NON-Critical updates to find the IDE Hard
Drive Cache update.

Yes U R correct. I actually had that particular update unchedked.

Hopefully replacing the file with the correct file and making the suggested
registry change will solve my issue. so far no scan on reboots,

Would you suggest leaving well enough alone or undo what I did and now
install the update, or run the update over what I have already done?

As usual, thanks again Glen.

If it ain't broke (anymore), don't fix it.

You already have the newer version of the file now, so that's all you really need,
along with the Registry edit. Installing the update over it, or re-doing it, won't
serve any further purpose in this case.

Thanks to Ingeborg, who spotted your problem right away. :)
