Autocheck Skipped at statup showing a message.

While starting the system if you get this error message
System Root/Windows/system 32/Autochk.exe Program not found SKIPPING AUTOCHECK

that means the Autochk.exe file is corrupted or missing.

Resolve:

1.Insert the Windows XP startup disk (the CD used for installing Windows XP), and then close the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP window if it appears.(Dont mind if does'nt appear)

2.Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

3.At the command prompt window opened, type the following command, and then press ENTER.

copy G:\i386\autochk.exe %WINDIR%\system32

Note: The drive letter G: represents your CD drive,that is running the Windows XP startup disk.

4.Type Y when you receive the following message:
Overwrite C:\WINDOWS\system32\autochk.exe? (Yes/No/All):

5.Remove the Windows XP disk, and then restart the computer.
