| Running Win XP SP1, I'm trying to run scandisk (via drive Properties +
Tools
| + Error-checking) on an external USB disk which requires Windows to be
| running before it can be seen by the system. Whenever I try to run
Scandisk
| it says "The disk check could not be performed because the disk check
| utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These
| files can be accessed only by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule
| this disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer?" If I
| select "Yes", the disk check does not run when I restart the computer
| because the system can't "see" the drive until Windows is running, by
which
| time it's too late for it to run! Is there any way to get around this
catch
| 22? Or is there any third party scandisk utility that's more intelligent
| about USB drives?
