I have a problem with my scan disk ever time i run the scan disk thourgh it is always interuped by some thing. i shut down every progarm and it is still interupted i also shut down the anti-virs. I don't seem to have a safe mode on my shut down list, can some body please help me cause my computer can't shut down properly and it always screws up every time i work on things i assume i need the scan disk to be run throughly but i can't seem to get it working.

Why dont you try going into "safe mode" and run it. That works for me.

Turn your computer off and restart tap your F8 key, just keep taping, a menu will come up saying Safe Mode put the number in and enter and perform your scandisk and defrag in Safe Mode.

Victor,

Just to explain, pressing F8 key when your system is booting on the black DOS screen will boot it into Safe Mode, where your startup files are bypassed. You will end up with a "minimalist" windows running where you can scandisk or defrag safely.

The reason for doing this is that more often than not, other programs running tend to screw up the scandisk or defrag operation.
Running in safe mode eliminates this problem as you don't have loads of other progs running.

When done, click start/shutdown/restart to boot back into your normal windows.

Make sure your computer is not set to hibernate. I had same problem, set to never hibernate and it worked
