scan disk and defrag,too
Scandisk tells me I have an error and, once it begins to
repair it, I get another error that says "An error occured while scan disk was attempting to correct the previous error. Complete a thorough check of this drive, then run scan disk again and choose to conduct a standard test". When I do this I get another error that says "Scandisk must now restart because another program (or Windows itself) wrote to your disk. Any errors that were previously reported, but not corrected may be reported again." I've tried to rerun scandisk and get the same exact error. When I try to go on to defrag I'm told that I can't because my disk has errors. Any suggestions? |

There is information here about running Scandisk. You might be best to run
it from DOS. http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/scandisk.html TROUBLESHOOTING SCANDISK PROBLEMS -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "crystal" wrote in message ...

I read through your suggestions...tried what was
applicable and still to no avail! To run from DOS do I just use the start scndsk command or can I set up the properties of the scan there too? -----Original Message----- There is information here about running Scandisk.

To run Scandisk from DOS you need to boot to DOS from an emergency startup
disk. You can set scandisk options by editing scandisk.INI, or you can use command line options. Do SCANDISK /? to see the options. The default options should be just fine. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "crystal" wrote in message ... I read through your suggestions...tried what was applicable and still to no avail!
