Hello all. I'm new here, and I'm told I might get some help with a problem.
I have some media errors on my d: drive. My PIM is on the d: drive, and I
noticed
that the load time was becoming insanely slow. Used to load in about ten
seconds,
now takes nearly three minutes! Something very wrong.
Because it's an old PIM, and makes no changes to the registry, I decided to
move
the PIM to the c: drive to see if it would improve the performance. Being an
old DOS
person, the easiest way to do this is in DOS. The copy command hangs when
trying to move one of the files -- the old disk error message. This is how I
know
there's a media problem on drive d:.
I tried running scandisk, to see if it would move the data to another area.
But it runs
so slowly!!!! After four hours of running, it was less than 10 percent done.
My d:
drive is smaller than 2 gig.
So, here's the question:
Is there a program out there that will allow me to do the function of scandisk,
but tell
it to scan only those clusters where this app resides? Or, if there isn't, is
there
something out there, freeware (I'm not working and have no spare cash) that
will do a
scan of drive d: in some reasonable time?
Thanks.
