Is your hard disk formatted as FAT32 or NTFS. Select Start, Control
Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management to
find out.

If NTFS select, Start, Run, type "cmd" without quotes and hit Enter,
type "Chkdsk /f /r" without quotes and hit Enter. Answer Y to the
question which appears and exit.. You must restart the system before the
disk scan begins.



I have run scan disk on restart already. It's disk defragmenter that
doesn't work. See first post.
