[pchelpers] Re: Re ScanDisk

that's how I do it: I re-start the computer, and while it is coming up, I tap 
the F8 key, which will bring me to the screen that gives the choices of how I 
want to start the computer, for instance in safe mode, or go back to the last 
setting that worked. It is so long ago that I had Windows 98, I do not remember 
how it was there, but I think it was the same.

  Hi Morris,
When I was using Windows 98 SE I would get that same error message 
whenever I tried to run scandisk with the computer in normal mode. The 
solution is to run scandisk with the computer in "safe mode". Now, if 
you don't know how to put your computer in "Safe Mode" perhaps someone 
here can explain it to you. I have forgotten how it is done.
