Cannot run defrag in windows xp HELP

[Loanniex]

Everytime I want to run defrag, at 13% he gets a message windows is going to shutdown to prevent damage to your system

Clear startup environment

Removed old compressed files

[The Unicorn]

You could try to run scandisk

[N1K]

Try to clean everything from startup folder, seems that some program is giving you a bottleneck..

Although this looks to me like a hard disk error..

I agree with unicorn, try to scan your disk for errors

[firefoxthebomb]

yes do the scandisk and tell it to do a surface scan too.

time to buy a new hard disc

Hi guys and gals,

Tell me, how do you do a scandisk in windows XP, as I cannot find any command for that in any menu. What am I overlooking and what should I know that I do

not know presently?

I am brilliant, but I do have failings...

dakota u remind me of a dating game i saw several years ago.

the host said to the guy you have been on the show before but not picked.

the host then continued to say... i hear your corrected a problem of yours.

he said oh, yes, i use to be conceited.....but now i am perfect. lol

Hi,

Heheh, well no one is perfect, however I wish to thank you for your words of wisdom.

It is always nice to have fun here without being serious all the time.

I checked out my disk with the info I got from here, and all is well.
