ScanDisk & Defrag problems
 

I used Vcom System 5 and scanned and defraged from there.
It took several hours. But now my system works and the
Windows-based scan and defrag work.

If one of these other ideas worked as well, please
repost. This is a very frustrating problem.

Hi all,

My problem concerns ScanDisk in Windows 98.

Every time I try to perform a Thorough (performs Standard
test and scans
disk surface for errors); ScanDisk starts to scan and
then after a while I
get a message saying something like: "ScanDisk has
restarted 10 times
because there is another program running in the
background. Please shut down
this other program..."

It even does the same thing in Safe Mode, where hitting
ctrl+al+del reveals
that the only thing running is Explorer!

I tried to defrag my hard drive last night and a short
way into the defrag
process but the defrag wouldn't complete & gave me a
message saying "There
is an error on your C: drive. Run ScanDisk to fix the
problem, then run
Defrag again." So I run ScanDisk and I'm back to square
one (the original
error message I described earlier).

I can't defrag my hard drive and I can't scan my hard
drive for errors
w/ScanDisk - what can I do about this? Can anyone please
help me solve this
problem?

Thanks,
Kingy75
