I have a CHKDSK scheduled to start next reboot, but I want to stop it.

A. If the command chkdsk /f /r (find bad sectors, recover information from bad sectors and fix errors on the disk) is run, on the next reboot the check disk is scheduled, however you may want to cancel this check disk. To do this perform the following:
Run the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). You must use Regedt32 and not Regedit.exe
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager
Change the BootExecute value from:
autocheck autochk * /rDosDevice:
To:
autocheck autochk *
