When I try to run Scan Disk, it starts and restarts 10 times before quitting. It never finishes the scan and repair process.
Is there another problem that needs to be resolved?

| You must either stop as many running programs as possible or reboot into safe mode. |

| Be sure to disable your screen saver. Right-click on any blank place on your desktop, select properties, select screen saver and either disable or select a couple of hundred minutes. There may be other issues as well but my experience is that this is a necessary step. |

Also consider temporarily stopping your anti-virus program -either Norton or McAfee .Don't forget to restart it after your scan disk runs .

If you have a Broadband connection (Road Runner or DSL), you should temporarily shut down your connection while you're doing your computer maintenance. This used to drive me nuts until I figured out what was happening.
