Q: When I try to scan disk, I come back from the class and says it restarted 10 times because something is writing to the disc. But I have no other programs . I even tried in safe mode and had the same problem. How do I get ScanDisk to work?!
Re:I found this. I don't know if it will be of any help.

Re:Well, as a mater of fact I had this exact problem. I had to CNTR.-ALT-DEL and close out all of the running tasks except SYSTRAY, and EXPLORER. it worked just fine after that.
I have WiN98SE, I think it was my CD burner software holding the hard drive open
Re:…still havin' the same problem. I have 3 hard drives, and it does it with all of them…there is absolutely nothing writing to them. Tried through windows, safe mode, dos…AHH! help?!?!?
Re:Sorry, should have mentioned…win98se
Re:I'm not sure which OS you are using, but try creating a bootdisk and going into DOS (or clever emulation of such) or boot from your win9x CD, and start computer with or without CD support. when you get to the prompt type scandisk. I am not on a win machine right now, and I dont remember the parameters, but type scandisk /? and play with the parameters a bit. you should be able to get the dos version running.
