scandisk & defrag

lol Which isn't always so, but thank you for thinking otherwise g
I don't very often run chkdsk but do run defrag once a month and it
doesn't seem to take that long on my 80GB drive.

My OS is WinME.
While you are here, I have another question:
Using the Windows Security Update CD after the crash, I encountered the
following message during install:
'An exeption or error ocurred while calling the function DLLinstall in
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\inetcpl.cpl".'
There were no problems later, should I be concerned?
Hope you see this and thanks for your input.

Hi Harry,

If Mart doesn't mind my butting in (again) - ScanDefrag was written for
WinME and works best (IMO) in ME and 98 (actually there's no real point of
ScanDefrag for XP that I'm aware of).

Is this utility operable under WinME besides WinXP?
If so, I like it and will need it too.

This is a FREE utility, written by several well respected contributors

these News Groups and has been designed to run several original MS
utilities
through a 'filter' which eliminates the usual junk which stops Scandisk
(and
Defrag) from running properly in Normal Mode - as you are already
experiencing g

You can get ScanDefrag at either of the two sites below - and be sure
to
read the associated notes for setting it up:

Hi Harry,

Should you be concerned? If there are no errors, then no, I don't believe
so. Inetcpl.cpl is the Internet Options program as accessed via the Control
Panel and by r-clicking the IE desktop icon and choosing *Properties*. I
should say that, if it works from both those locations and you're having no
internet or Internet Explorer trouble, what ever the issue was has probably
resolved itself.

Shane:

Both r-clicks on IE work fine and no trouble with the Explorer either. That
means things must have worked themselves out.
I do get lucky sometimes and thankfully so.
All I need to do from now on is to be patient, as Jack already mentioned.
The way it looks, I am back to normal, except for the 36 or so hidden
gigabytes, which I eventually hope to unhide with the help of my recovered
PM8 and without the error message about a faulty partition table.
I already had it show me details about my current partition status,
including the missing g-bytes.
But actually running it after carefully backing everything up first, will be
way down the road.
Thanks for caring, Shane.

Harry.

Harry, if you properly backup your OS and personal data, and (most
important) read the user manual (i.e., RTFM!) and PDF file for the desired
operations in Partition Magic 8 BEFOREHAND, I don't think you have much to
worry about.
You sound pretty sharp here.

And you have us to help and advise BEFORE you do something really stupid.
