Well, I "almost" always shut down correctly - very rarely has this
machine not been shut down correctly. With that said, I also VERY
rarely shut this machine down. In fact, I usually only restart upon
installing something that actually requires a restart.
The reason the question comes up is because Diskkeeper 7 won't defrag
that particular drive since it always has a Disk Check scheduled on it
(I know that's a software list issue too).
Another suggestion was made on how to solve this by Steven Wolfe on how
to correct this, and I'll give that a try :)
Thanks!
