hey Doug... are you running ME? I'd estimate that 85% of the ME machines that I have ever touched would freeze on scandisk everytime... with nothing but explorer and systray running. they only way I could get around this was to run scandisk in safe mode. ~s ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug" > I tried to do a scandisk and it froze on me. The only progs running in the background was systray, (I couldn't find explorer in msconfig/startup). > > Any ideas on how to solve this one ?
