Hit Windows+R and type REGEDIT.
Navigate to the following key In the left hand tree:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
On the right find BootExecute and double click on it.
There may be a number of lines in the list that appears - the one you are looking for should look like this:
autocheck autochk /p \??\C:
This is what mine looks like after setting a boot time chkdsk:autocheck autochk /p \??\C:
PDBoot.exe
autocheck autochk *
If it exists delete that line (including the blank line after you have deleted it) and click OK (leave any other lines alone). Close the registry editor and restart.
Once you have fixed it I suggest running a boot time chkdsk on drive C: before attempting to defrag it.
To do that hit Windows+R and type CMD. In the open window type:
CHKHDSK C: /R
and press enter (assuming it is NTFS formatted). When prompted say yes to doing this on next restart. Restart your computer and go and get some coffee.
During the next reboot it should run a complete health check on drive C:-Carol Haynes (June 11, 2012, 03:21 AM)
I just want to be on a fast track : going through all those manuals just to get what i want is a tedious work considering i am messaging from a mobile.-hulkbuster (June 04, 2012, 08:42 AM)
Just to "fast track" your request - and assuming you know all the other things you should understand before you dither with your BOOT.INI - this is what the link Ath provided you with has to say about it:Technical details
Booting
FreeDOS can be booted from a hard drive, live CD, USB flash drive or floppy disk. It can also be run using virtualization software like Virtual PC and VirtualBox or emulation software like Bochs and QEMU.
To use the Windows Boot Menu the following line can be added to 2K/XP's C:\BOOT.INI:
C:\FDOSBOOT.BIN="FreeDOS"
To boot using GRUB something similar to the following can be added to menu.lst:
title FreeDOS # Anything you want
root hd(x,y) # x = device and y = partition on which FreeDOS resides
chainloader /kernel.sys # Boots FreeDOS's bootloader

Quickly googling the message you posted, I found the following:
http://www.computing...utocheck/189754.htmlThis error can come due to malicious entries in autocheck registry value.
To fix this you can follow below steps :
1) Open Registry editor by opening "regedit" from run box.
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager , You will see a vaule name :BootExecute.
3) By default it should have below value. remove any extra values and hit OK.
autocheck autochk *
4) Reboot your computer to test, It should work now.
I honestly have no idea if this will do it, but the OP on that question replied that it did...worth a try I guess...Probably not a bad idea to do a virus scan anyway.-Stephen66515 (April 19, 2012, 01:56 PM)
It's probably not a virus, so don't get scared. But do see if you can track down what it is.-mouser (April 19, 2012, 12:18 PM)
