A. If you have scheduled a NTFS conversion for next reboot using theCONVERT command it can be canceled as follows:

  1. Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe NOT regedit.exe)

  2. Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager

  3. Double click BootExecute

  4. Change from
    autoconv DosDevicesx: /FS:NTFS
    to:
    autocheck autochk *

  5. Click OK

  6. Close the registry editor
