Hi

I have windows 98 SE and recently discovered that de-frag function won't
operate. When I try Scandisk, this also fails - keeps switching from
'Checking folders' to 'Checking allocation tables'.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong & what I need to do to sort it.

Thanks

Before you defrag make sure you hit control+alt+delete and close out any
running programs except "explore". Make sure you shut off your screen saver
too, any program that kicks in while your are defraging (ex.screensaver)
will reset your back to the start.
