Sharon - try defragging in Safe mode. To get there, keep hitting F8 as the system boots then select Safe Mode from the resultant menu.
But always run Scandisk before a defrag. And if that won't run in regular mode, the same thing applies as above.

PCSOFT Digest - 24 Dec 2003 to 25 Dec 2003 (#2003-357)Hi,
I don't know whether I'm doing this correctly, but here goes anyway.
I'm having difficulty defragmenting. If I do it the way that's described in my Windows 98SE manual, it NEVER completes. It keeps restarting. I have tried the "Control, Alt, Delete" route to close all of the programs. Sometimes that's successful, other times it's not.
Any efficient method?
