Hehe, Looks like you lost your hymen..
Most of you other guys need to kill your AV software, it continualy scans and checks out movement on your HD so when scandisk and defrag do there stuff the AV program querries it and then it restarts..

Not only can I not defrag but I can't scan disk either!
I get "Scandisk encountered a data error while reading the FAT drive on drive C"
EMM 386 not installed
XMS manager not present
The following file is missing or corrupted C:\windows\himem.sys
I think it's corrputed because I'm pretty sure I still have the himem.sys file on my pc, so at least it's still there.
I also get some msg about bad boot sectors on my drive, and I have difficulty loading windows.
Is my pc still "save able" or is it hopeless? Sorry to intrude on your thread but I thought I would bring it up because I'm having similar problems.
