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. Rick |

Matter of fact it never starts. Other than that programs run normal. Any Ideas? 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.
