it's in the registry --
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager,
look at the "BootExecute" key.

default: autocheck autochk *
that just tells the OS to check for the dirty bit.  It
will change this key if you manually schedule a chkdsk
using chkdsk /f or /r.  I agree with the poster who said
let it run.  It won't continue running after it has
completed... it'll reset this key to the default.
