Problem Defraging Sys Drive (C:)
1. Thank-your for the comeback.
2. I was trying to start DOS from the "sign-off" menu. That got me noplace 3. When I started in SAFE mode at boot, the problem remained. 4. When I started SAFE mode a second time, I chose "Command Prompt". 5. It started and I ran ScanDisk. While I elected to create recovery discs while in scan disk; it took two floppies to complete the ScanDisk. 6. Following successful completion of ScanDisk, I re-booted in regular Win98SE mode and invoked ScanDisk again. This time it worked. If found additional errors, corrected them. 7. I then defragged. That took better than an hour. But then again, I only have 199KB memory with a processor that I turtle could outrun. 8. Will be running these one a week. I use the machine for subscription service and the rest of the time I let BOINC have it. Once a week I update the virus listing, download subscription mail and then it is back to BOINC.. 9. I thank-you for the comeback and assistance. Sorry for the individual posting. Will delve further into posting protocol to try and avoid in the future. 10. Someone wanted to know why I used Norton's. a. It was on the machine when I got it. b. It is a real pain to get it off the system. c. I have something that works now (the Norton's) d. Have no idea what to replace it with on this relic e. As I said, it works now and like my grandfather used to tell me; "If It Ain't Broke, Don\t Fix It" 11. Why don't I dump the machine - hey, it is faster than 5 X 8 files cards, a pencil and eraser. (I do have 4 machines on line) 12. Again, thanks for putting up with me. As I said, "Starting In SAFE Mode and selecting Command Prompt Only solved the problem!!! SomeOne |
