| 11229 | 2001-04-12 08:02:00 | try running scandisk first but click the THOROUGH circle first for a complete check of your drive c: If you have a compressed drive displays h: and c: you may be in for a bit of sweat. |

| 11230 | 2001-04-12 08:33:00 | Sigh!!! Type 'defragment' into the Press F1 search box and you will find hundreds of answers to this question. As I said a short time ago all problems with defrag have been answered many times over. |

| 11231 | 2001-04-12 08:57:00 | Have you tried closing all the programmes you have running in the background? Alt/Ctrl/Dlte - then one by one 'End Task' all programmes there except Explorer and Systray. Those two must be left running. Hope this works for you, it solved my scandisk/defrag problems. |

| 11233 | 2001-04-14 07:50:00 | amen to tony's *sigh* TURN OFF THE VIRUS SCANNER!! I think everybody who uses a PC, and subscribes to PC world, has asked this question. Its other thigs 'writing' to you hard disk that makes this happen. Microsoft should have this written in there defrag window. Turn off the programs. Hope this works. cya | Guest (0) | ||
| 11234 | 2001-04-17 10:09:00 | Suggest : http://www.powerdefrag.com/ or www.allstar.nildram.co.uk When you run it, it will reboot your system and run the Windows defragger without any other programs running in the background, not even the Windows GUI is loaded, giving a totally controlled enviroment. |
