Problems Defraging Sys Drive (C:)
When I start system in SAFE Mode I still have the problem. However, using
Win98SE ScanDisk / Defrag I do get the message "Scan Disk Cannot Continue Because A Program Such As A Disk Utility Has Locked This Drive. Close The Program Or Wait For It To Finish, Then Restart ScanDisk" The other messages was when I tried to use the Norton utility. By the way, Norton's is on there because that is what come with the machine. If you have a suggestion, I am open to it. I do understand that Norton is a very invasive piece of software and is a real PITA to uninstall Since my BIOS has a problem with a limit of 32Gig, and I have a 40Gig hard drive, I really wonder if the problem is not the EZ Bios. Would appear that is the utility. So there is a poss of a conflict. I need the EZ-Bios to see above 32Gig, yet I am trying to defrag a logical drive that is part of a 40Gig physical drive. As I said, I can defrag the other logical drives, just not C:. I get the idea that if I started the system in DOS Mode and ran a defrag that I might be shooting myself in the foot due to he absence of the EC-Bios (DOS would only see the drive a 32Gig and I have no idea what I would drive a stake into. By the way, if on a re-boot I tell the machine to re-boot in DOS the only thing that I get is a fast flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen Thanks in advance SomeOn |
