Whenever I run Scandisk (I need to because I cannot Defrag as I am told
there are errors on the disc and Scandisk is recommended) after about two
minutes I get a box telling me that Scandisk has restarted ten times because
Windows or another program is writing to this drive. I have no other programs
whatsoever running at the time!
Has anyone any idea what is happening. Help would be much appreciated.
