I have an HD (WD) that apparently has a problem. It will not run scandisk at the startup of winduhs. A DOS virus scan has been running for over 15 hours (20GB). "DOS" scandisk will not run. WD diags found an error but "corrected it". Still won't run. I installed a new hd to check the rest of the system, and everything else works fine. As soon as I install the original hd as a slave, winduhs wants to run scan disk. the system locks at this point and nothing occurs. I would simply like to stop the scan from running, boot the stupid thing, and transfer the needed files onto the new hd. Any thoughts on how to prevent scandisk from automatically running when booting???
thanks
