Windows Server 2003 – Stop ChkDsk in progress?

I have a Windows 2003 Web Server that was rebooted and is apparently now running ChkDsk. I need to have the server back up in a few hours for the work day – is it possible to stop a ChkDsk is progress and force boot back into the OS?

Answer

Please note that it is not recommended to stop or interrupt the chkdsk running on the computer until it completes by itself.

If you feel the need to stop it the only option would be to do a hard restart by turning off the power of the computer. If you turn off the computer and restart it you will have to delete the files that it’s scanning first and later try to run the chkdsk again.

Hope this helps. Let us know the results.
