3rd Party AutoScan
If you have Nuts & Bolts or Norton Utilities installed on your system, you
can
cause their DOS mode disk repair utilities to run on bootup after a bad
Windows shutdown, instead of ScanDisk. Copy the utility you want to use (e.g.
NDD.EXE or DMDOS.EXE) to your \Windows\Command folder, rename SCANDISK.EXE to
SCANDISK.WIN and then rename the copied file to SCANDISK.EXE.
The next time you boot up after a bad shutdown, your third-party disk scanning
application will run. This can easily be reversed by deleting or renaming
SCANDISK.EXE. More information about configuring this is available from
AXCEL216 on his website at:
http://user.aol.com/axcel216/
listed under the "BYPASS AUTOSCAN" topic online:
http://user.aol.com/axcel216/osr2.htm#BYPASS
and in his OSR2TIPS.TXT file, part of W95-11D.EXE (freeware):
http://user.aol.com/axcel216/95.htm
I recommend reading that before proceeding with this tip.
