Is Scandisk really failing to start because the drive is faulty or another
program is preventing it from doing what it needs to? I have a tool called
Spinrite which I use for all such eventuallities, but it runs from a boot disk
and of course won't work with speech. An engineer could be expensive,
especially if the drive isn't failing at all.
As I said check Scandisk.

Subject: [access-uk] POSSIBLE DRIVE FAILURE - ADVICE PLEASE
Hi all,
(Not my day today . . ..) <SMILE>
I'm trying to diagnose a problem which may be a drive failure.
JAWS became sluggish recently and I can't pin it down to any
installation so I decided it was time anyway to do a SCANDISK. This
*DIDN'T* work. Of course, it couldn't be done whilst in Windows but I
receive an error report that the SCANDISK couldn't be performed . . ..
I have recently noticed the hard disk showing signs of something wrong
also - sounding a bit like a record stuck in the groove - and this may
account for some or all of the problem.
Should I try to defrag anyway, or are there any other tests I should
carry out before calling out an engineer?
