Hello, All,

Have a problem with Scandisk, running 98 SE.  After a Blue Screen of Death
crash, will take several days and boot cycles for Scandisk to finally work
properly.  Running with all background programs shut down makes no
difference, and plenty of RAM available.

For the several days it takes to finally work, will exhibit the same
pattern.  "Checking file allocation tables" for a few seconds, then
"Checking file folders" for a few seconds, back and forth, never getting
through either task but just getting started on each one.  I will
eventually get the message that the task has repeated 10 times, do you
still want to continue?  Either answer makes no difference.

After several days, Scandisk will finally run correctly, but the computer
doesn't run properly throughout that time because there are unresolved
errors and I can't run Scandisk to fix them.  Ideas, anyone?  Thanks.

Regards, Kent Jacobson
