| 24327 | 2001-11-13 02:45:00 | I'm having trouble running a scandisk. The last one I ran took about 3hrs for a standard one and then about 6-8 hrs for a through one. When I go to run a disk defragmentor a message comes up 1% defraged. Drive contents changed:restarting. In 5 hrs only 7% had been checked. What do I do? |

| 24329 | 2001-11-13 04:10:00 | when defraging and doing scandisc I always make sure all anti virus and apps such as firewalls are disabled. I have found this speeds it up. hope it works for you. |
