Looooong scandisk & defrag
Yesterday morning I decided to clean up my hard drive at work. I zipped some customer's HD's I had saved (I save problem-customer's hard drives for quick repair), and delted the uncompressed DATA.
At around 10:00am I rebooted in safe mode, deleted more garbage, and did a thorough scandisk (no errors). When that finally finished I did a defrag.
That night when I went home defrag was just under 50% complete. It finished by 8:30 this morning when I came it for work.
That left me Windriversles for an entire day. :(
