The problem is with Scan Disk, :Due to improper shut down: Now whenever I boot or reboot, the system automatically goes in Scan Disk, which is fine, except it never totally completes the scan,
the system will scan, stop the scan, then restart the scan, at times it will continue but never complete the scan, and ofcourse this problem restricts my system from Defragging. !Help!
Thank you
Roy

I agree. Start in Safe Mode - F8 when starting to load windows, turn off all screen savers and things like that which may start to do something during the scan, and you should get through the scan OK.

Same with Defrag.

ME is known to have problems in this area. Run a utility like Norton Disk Doctor. You can also download a 30 day trial version of Diskkeeper 8.0 from www.execsoft.com
