I don't think I've run scandisk on this drive--at least not from Windows. The
drive is 160 Gb and is not partitioned. What is the largest partition
scandisk can work with?

Scandisk reports insufficient memory if the drive is partitioned with too
many sectors. Has Scandisk ever worked properly with this drive? You can
check the number of sectors using CHKDSK from DOS (it calls them 'allocation
units").

Scandisk will not run because it reports there is not enough "available
memory". I've tried shutting down the majority of programs that run in the
background but Scandisk keeps reporting insufficient available memory.
What
else can be preventing scandisk from functioning properly?
