When I first got my 20MB HD I started to run Thorough on the Scandisk and after a long time I hit stop, The computer froze and I couldn't get back to the drive, it wouldn't see it on start up or anywhere. I had to go to IBM site and download a fix it program, would have lost everything on the disk, luck there wasn't on it yet. I have been afraid to run Scandisk in Thorough again.

I have ME. But I do it in Safe Mode now Off Line , forget how long it takes this way. Lionel. --- Outgoing mail is certified as Virus Free as AVG can do it.
