Is it posssible to turn off Xp's scandisk?

Tuesday, March 29, 2005 by _02 | Discussion: Windows XP

Does anyone know of a way to turn off windows scandisk so I can scan and fix my disk with another program. Everytime I try to scan with automatically fix errors checked (with a non windows scanner) it says my drive is locked by another program. Thanks to anyone who can help. Have a great day!

I didn't know that when you rebooted with norton, it ran window's instead. That's odd that it did that though. I don't think I ever had windows take over norton disk doctor for boot up.

Hmm, not sure then. I usually do it on startup so I can do a free-space check along with it. It just takes several hours.

If I think or come up with anything and you still have the problem, I'll let you know.
