Tom;

I do not think you can run the scandisk with the /n /p switches from the
autoexec.bat file. These switches are only available once windows has
loaded. However running the Dos scandisk in the autoexec.bat file with the
switch scandisk c: /custom will run scandisk with custom options spelled
out in the file  scandisk.ini .
