[1stPickPCHelp] Re: Scandisk Problems

Hello,

You might try the batch files from Dave Methvin

I've been using them for years on my W98SE system with no problems. You must be sure that your screen saver is turned off, then simply click on the batch file, restart the computer, and scan disk or defrag loads before anything else. This was the only method I could find that consistently worked for my system.

Hi Bob,
I have frequently run Scandisk from the DOS prompt, with out problems on my Windows 98 computers.

I go to Start> Shutdown> Restart in DOS
At the C:\ type in SCANDISK then click on enter.

But I have never received that message when running in safe mode.

I have been having the same type scandisk problem as previously discussed in
11-2002/msg00055.html. I tried the sugestion of runing Scandisk in Safe
mode. My problem is that when I start Scandisk in Safe mode I get the
following message.

Warning Message:
If you run an MS-DOS program in safe mode, you risk currupting the video
display or experiencing other anomalies. Do yo want to run the program
anyway? Yes or No

Naturally I picked No.

I am running a Windows 98 system. Should this message be heeded?
