Problem with scandisk ( win 98se)
Maintenance/defragmentation scandisk, keeps continually restarting. then a
message says: "scan disk has restarted 10 times because windows or some other program is writing to this drive" I have no programs running and can't fathom what can be wrong. Defragmentation scanning can't even start now. Does any one have some idea of how I can solve this please? Thanks. |
