Hi

Sorry if this is a "idiots guide" question.

Every time I try to run the Scan Disc tool on my PC (with option set for "thorough") I end up with an error message saying something like:

"Scan Disc had to re-start 10 times due to another application writing to disc."

Thing is, I set it to run overnight, with no other app.s running that I'm aware of. Tried switching off my screensaver, but still having the problem.

Anyone offer any suggestions?

Rich :)

Turn off your antivirus software :D

Start your machine in Safe Mode, then run scandisk. This will allow it to complete.

What OS? If its W98 do a Ctrl Alt Del and close every task except explorer and systray, turn off screen saver and then run scandisk.
Reboot when it's finished.
