ScanDisk
After 10 attempts to run ScanDisk, a message states that a
program or application is writing to my hard disk and I don't know what that program might be. Is it Symantic's antivirus auto protect? This problem just started a day or so ago. |

Scandisk and Defrag are memory intensive applications, you won't get a good or faster job, if you have applications running that don't need to be running, screen savers should be turned off. Save time by running defrag/scandisk in Safe Mode. -- Sincerely, Andrew H. Carter |

ScanDisk
I have this problem. I have disabled all screensavers,
standby/power saving timers, and deactivated everything in MSCONFIG ... to no avail. Try asking Jeeves for some other software (www.ask.co.uk). There's loads of freee utilities out there on the net - the only problem is finding them. -----Original Message----- After 10 attempts to run ScanDisk, a message states that a program or application is writing to my hard disk and I don't know what that program might be.
