[pchelpers] Re: Scandisk Fails

This could indicate another unannounced program running in the 
background, like spyware or virus. It could also suggest a damaged spot 
on the drive. If it was here, I would run a passive scan on it to find 
out. That's where the hard drive is removed and slaved to another 
system, which then does all the scanning. It prevents anything on the 
original drive fro interfering with maintainance or pest removal.
