scribbled some thoughts: NOTE: Best viewed in a fixed pitch font Our disk Degfragmantioan can go all day and get no where even after scan disk Do you do it in SAFE Mode? It should help.

Hi Darrin,
Here are a few tips to consider when running Scandisk and Defrag. 1. Restart to the Command Prompt and do a thorough Scandisk on the drive first and repair any errors. Restart the computer. Hold down the CTRL key while the system is booting. This will take you to the Boot Menu then select Command Prompt Only. Run Scandisk on the drive from there by typing SCANDISK then press enter and let it perform a surface scan. 2. Close all running programs using Close Programs (Ctrl + Alt + Del) except Explorer. 3. Turn off screen savers and any power management 4. Delete Temp files and Temporary Internet Files 5. Empty the Recycle Bin 6. Do a virus scan with up to date virus software Free offer: eTrust EZ Armor Security Suite from Computer Associates http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm 7. Disable PC-Cillin if installed 8. Turn off and disconnect DSL/Cable Modem 9. Run Ad-aware to remove any possible spyware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Note: Defragging in Safe Mode is another option. -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 "Darrin" wrote in message ...
