scandisk won't run
I have tried to start scandisk now for 2 hours and it
just keeps restarting. I have closed all programs including the screensaver. I did Control/Alt/Delete repeatedly until they only thing left open was Explorer. Is there something running in the background that I'm not aware of that I need to shut down so that scandisk will finish the task without constantly restarting? Thanks so much! |

Try running scandisk and defrag in Safe Mode - see if that helps
