erpdude8 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 when you say you restart in MS-dos mode, you mean you selected the Restart in MS-DOS option from the Win98 shutdown menu. check your autoexec.bat and config.sys files from the c:\ folder to see what is loaded from those files. also, check the dosstart.bat file from the c:\windows folder to see what is being loaded from that file. The dosstart.bat file is used when restarting to MS-DOS. something from either of those three files I mentioned might be causing scandisk to not work properly.

CRK Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) i will check those files ... but either autoexec.bat & config.sys don't have anything strange .. the dosstart.bat has 0 kb and no data in it... what do you have on that file as data???.. also i was thinking it could be a bad hard disk sector or fragmentation.. what do you think?My BEst Regards Edited June 19, 2005 by CRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
