Here's the article I use if scandisk or defragmenting does not work in SAFE MODE -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222469
I've never had to resort to any other articles or methods,
Cheers,

When I try using the disk defragmenter on my Windows Me, it gets to 10%, says something writes to the drive, then restarts, and does it over and over again, not going anywhere past the 10% mark.
And when I try to use the SpeedDisk from Norton SystemWorks, it gets to around 65-70% then says there is a lost cluster, sends me into the disk doctor, and while that runs, it gets to directory structure, and then restarts cuz it says something wrote to the disk.
For both instances of disk writing, I do not hve any programs running, so what is the problem? Please help!
Thanks to all in advance...
