You do need to run Scan Disk or ERROR CHECKING first and make sure you have tics in BOTH boxes when you scan. This will 'fix' any bad sectors on your hard drive, so then when you Defrag it can get past those bad sectors coz they won't be there anymore. Since it did say Scan Disk, I'm assuming you're running an OS earlier than XP. Make sure your screensaver is set to 'none'. Defrag in Safe Mode too. good luck :-)
