autochk not found

[zapoqx]

Hey all, back with another question.
The other day, I had a power out and my laptop was on but I just took off the battery to check how it would fit in my bag for the flight I'll be taking next week. Well I noticed latly that when my laptop boots up, it mentions:
Autochk is not found - Skipping Autocheck

What is this and how do I fix it?

does it still boot ok? if so removing Windows XP HotFix KB824105 is apparently a cure

theres more stuff here http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic7746.html some of it is not directly related though

Go into your I386 folder and find it. Restore it to winnt\system directory.

Thanks, I'm actually restarting my laptop after I finish this message, if it works, I'll be back to notify you.

EDIT: I just finished and it didn't work. Although I saw in system32 that autochk is in their. I tried overwriting it but it didn't help. Any other suggestions? And Also, the KB Windows Hotfix can't work for me cause I don't have that hotfix anywhere on the laptop.
