W ME Scandisk stops at sct 8157 of 21049

Hi,
I am trying to run scandisk on a machine running W ME full version. It was getting a lot of error messages so I thiught I would begin here. There are no restore points to go back to and restore. I ran it from the ms dos prompt in ME because there is no option in shut down or in the f8 start menu. I said dont fix errors because I want to view them first. Any help?
Thanks
