Reduce 10 Seconds Scandisk Count Down Time During XP Boot

Reduce 10 Seconds Scandisk Count Down Time During XP Boot

To reduce the count down time of Windows XP during boot process ( You see this normally when your computer is not shutdown properly, Electricity failure is one of the major reasons ) , You can use the following method.
Start MS Dos Prompt (or Goto Start menu-> Run and here type CMD).
Now at command Prompt type the following command
CHKNTFS /T:4

Where 4 is the amount of time in seconds to wait before scandisk starts ( You may set it to 0 or 1 so that scandisk instantly starts or whatever you prefer )

For help about this command, You can type the following command at command prompt
CHKNTFS /?

Note: You can also type the command
CHKNTFS /T:4
at run command but in this case you will only see a splash screen of command promt and it will disappear, but your task will be done.
