Hi All,
  Does anyone here know how windows knows to run scandisk (or other utility)
after a hard reboot? How does the OS know that it was not shut down
properly? I know there is a certain "shut down proceedure" that is followed
when the OS is being shut down normally, so what is different when it is
manually rebooted? Thanks guys.

John
