it is very possible that you have a bad sector on your hard drive, and when the scandisk gets to that bad sector it freezes because it can't interpret the data. restart into MS-DOS mode and run this command chkdsk c: /r (this assumes that your hard drive is drive C) this will check your hard disck drive for errors and upon finding them automatically repair them for you (it works for floppies from a command prompt also, (although for the C drive you can't be running windows when you do it, since windows is sitting on the drive it's checking) (you would change the c: to a: if you are checking a floppy) you know how sometimes you stick a floppy in and it says this disk is not formatted would you like to format now, or it will say data redundincy check (spell check on that one) well . . . . normally it's because a file table is corrupt or the disk has bad data on it, it got messed up, simply do a checkdisk a: /r on it, and normally that fixes the disk Hope this helps
