Default Scandisk - Defrag.

1. Why will the Scandisk not complete, it just starts over and over. 2.
Scandisk will not work, so I tried to Defrag. This will not work either.
It never gets past the 0%. Matter of fact it never starts. Other than that
programs run normal. Any Ideas?

Boot into DOS using your Emergency Boot Disk (you may have to make one
first, go to ControlPanel/AddRemovePrograms|BootDisk) and run Scandisk
from there.

This behavior is usually caused by background programs that are
frequently accessing the hard drive while Scandisk or Defrag are
running. Antivirus software is one common culprit, but there are
many others.


Try ScanDefrag from
http://home.earthlink.net/~bblanton2...efrag/main.htm or
http://www.blueorbsoft.com/scandefrag/index.html Be sure to read the
information in the readme files before installing it.

Good luck
