So, I scheduled a boot scan, but it crashes(HD’s fault, already confirmed)at some point. So, it crashes, I boot the PC and the scan is there. Is there anyway to cancel the boot scan? Like a key combo? Thanks in advance.
Clicking ‘ESC’ interrupts the scanning.
Are you saying that each time you boot a new boot time scanning is performed?
Yeah, that’s what’s happening with me. Thought it would be a combo of keys, but yeah, just “esc”. 
In XP, if you press F8 when starting Windows and select ‘Last known good configuration’ from the boot menu, the boot scan should not be started.
