Default ScanDisk

After 10 attempts to run ScanDisk, a message states that a
program or application is writing to my hard disk and I
don't know what that program might be. Is it Symantic's
antivirus auto protect? This problem just started a day or
so ago.

Scandisk and Defrag are memory intensive applications, you won't get a good
or faster job, if you have applications running that don't need to be
running, screen savers should be turned off. Save time by running
defrag/scandisk in Safe Mode.

I have this problem. I have disabled all screensavers,
standby/power saving timers, and deactivated everything
in MSCONFIG ... to no avail.

Try asking Jeeves for some other software
(www.ask.co.uk). There's loads of freee utilities out
there on the net - the only problem is finding them.
