It's troubling that it happens in Safe Mode, because most items that
could be causing it in Normal Mode won't be running, or are YOU
multitasking them? Better check for malware as others have said. Also,
don't blame Glee if any of the following are dated...

........Quote.......
You should run the diagnostics for the brand of hard drive that is in
the computer.

If you don't know what brand the drive is, you can download the
limited-use free edition of OnTrack Data Advisor from this location:
http://www.ontrack.com/freesoftware/#dataadvisor

When you click the download link on that page for Data Advisor 5.0 Free
edition, you will be taken to a page to register with the OnTrack site,
then you will be able to download the diskette creator file.

The downloads are diskette creators. They are to be run once from a
working Windows system and will guide you through the process of
extracting the Data Advisor onto a 3.5" floppy disk.

Download and Use Instructions:

| Defrag Problem is...
|
| drive's contents changed restarting...
|
| I have used MS MEdefrag is much better than win98se one. I'M running
| win 98 SE
|
| I have deleted the contents of Windows/applog which worked a few
months
| ago when this happened but not a fix this time. I scan disk and defrag
| once a month and in June I had 101 megs of temp files usually its
about
| 70 megs so I knew I was going to have trouble as i suspect I picked up
| a bug, quark, virus, worm, or ad ware on the internet.
|
|
| I also used Power Defrag works well with ME Defrag. It reboots with
| nothing else loaded then reboots normally after the defrag.
|
| Still get drive's contents changed restarting --
|
| Oh yes I restarted in Safe Mode a few times and still get drive's
| contents changed restarting even in save mode
|
| I have done msconfig and unchecked everything too
|
| An thing I missed ?
|
| I suspect a virus or spy ware - I ran ad ware and regit cleaner and
| still not fix to the message...
|
|
| drive's contents changed restarting... in defrag
|
| Please suggest something - thanks
