Anew problem for you to solve for me if you would be so kind lol.
For some unknown reason, I now cannot run scandisc. The blue screen loads, as it does and the message says something like,”cannot acces volume directly, volume is clean” and then loads into windows.
Very strange. I ran a defrag yesterday, did a virus scan, etc, all fine. I,ve not had this before, obviously there is a conflict somewhere, but what is conflicting with what? That is the question. Another problem for me.

Run the tests here.
If that doesn’t help, post the error message exactly.
Thanks Owen, I was hoping you,d reply. :wink:
Well this morning, I turned pc on, and where I,d scheduled scan disc to start, I got the blue screen and the message said,
“Cannot open volume for direct access, windows has finished checking the disc” then it booted into windows normally, BUT, I went in my computer, and c drive, properties, then scan disc. This time I left the 2 boxes unchecked? that say, automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors” this time it did it. However when I set scan disc to start at windows boot up it does 5 checks, this did 3. V weird huh?21 February, 2006 at 12:44 am #19807522 February, 2006 at 1:25 pm #198076@Ow£n Ka$h wrote:
I found this on the Microsoft site.
I tried that Owen but I already have sp2 installed, and microsoft checked and said it,s fine, so the only way to stop it happening is to do a system restore, but that still doesnt explain why it,s happened in the first place.I can only assume that there is a conflict of some sort between IT and something on my pc. What though? Anyway everything else is ok apart from that. V strange. Thanks for help though, always appreciated Owenx.

will report if it finds any bad sectors, then asks what you would like to do
As you received no such report, I guess all is well. :wink: -
