Alright, I have serious problem with ScanDisk. I've closed all other applictions except explorer and systray, but it still keeps resetting all teh time when Im using the "complete scan"-option. Looks like something is writing something to somewhere every 10 seconds or so, but I don't know what it could possibly be. I have Windows ME. Shocked

Can anyone help with this? I've scanned the PC for viruses and stuff like that with a big keg 'o programs, nothing found. It shouldn't be a network issue either...

Scan Disk in Safe Mode, that might work better for you, if that does not work. Scan disk during the start up, but I forgot how to do that.

Yeah I used to have that probelm too... I had to run it in Safe mode too... That is... until I got XP *hugs XP* My 60 gig HD scandisks and defrags in 2 1/2 hours. Very Happy

On my old 400Mhz compy on windows 98, a 10 GB HD took 2 Days, 17 hours to finish.

i had that problem once..i did the control +alt+del to bring up that window (me forgets im tired) and close all except the explorer.exe or sumthing..make sure screensaver is set to none aswell and that should do it...

if not hmm there should be a MS-dos scan disk on a bootable floppy just go ms-dos (with out windows suport) and type A:scandisk c: that should do it..i think

correct me if i am wrong people..but thats how i did it on mine

Never defrag in Dos mode. It deletes all the 32-bit folder names, and Windows can't find anything next time you boot up.

MS-Dos mode is the best. if you have an OS without make a Boot disk,
If you use Win98 or something with MS-Dos mode exit Windows and select "restaerts in Dos Mode"
then type in:

scandisk c: /surface /autofix /nosummary

you can also use /all if I remind right to test all you HD's

This apramert tell Scandisk: Autofix erros, make no summary test the surface (intensive mode)

-> every one who wanna learn something about MS-Dos can ask me, I ahve worked with MS-Dos long tima at my 286 until I get an PII300 Cool

and btw: Defrag normaly should not work under Winsystems (exerpt Win 3.1/Win95 old versions) or if you copy it from an old MS-Dos instalation.
