Windows Forum / Windows 95 / February 2004Scandisk Freezes
The following is what was described to me by a friend running 95 and does not have Internet access: Machine will only boot to scandisk, and then scandisk freezes. I can't seem to find any Microsoft articles on this issue. Any ideas. > The following is what was described to me by a friend running 95 and does > not have Internet access: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Any ideas. try running scan disk from a boot floppy scandisk C: I don't think you understood the question. There is a problem that causes this. Iv'e fixed it before but am looking for an article. I KNOW how to run scandisk. What I'm asking is WHAT caused this? > > The following is what was described to me by a friend running 95 and does > > not have Internet access: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > scandisk C: > The following is what was described to me by a friend running 95 and does > not have Internet access: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Any ideas. Oh...if scan disk always runs at startup it's probably due to a bad shutdown... so i'd investigate that sounds like the HD is about done.... you can't manully stop scandisk and see if it will still boot? > > The following is what was described to me by a friend running 95 and does > > not have Internet access: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > it's probably due to a bad shutdown... > so i'd investigate that I'm not the one fixing it. I just wanted some ideas on what may have caused this. Thanks. > sounds like the HD is about done.... > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > it's probably due to a bad shutdown... > > so i'd investigate that I thought of that possibility, but I had fixed one once before. I'm not sure but I think scandiskw.exe was damaged along with some other system file. I just wanted some ideas.

Actually if it is the DOS scandisk that is running when the computer starts (the one with the blue screen) that has nothing to do with scandiskw.exe. Make sure there is nothing in the Autoexec.bat file asking Scandisk to run. Yes, I meant scandisk.exe, and it would be enabled in msdos.sys under AutoScan. (=1 is on, =0 is off) Thanks > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > (the one with the blue screen) that has nothing to do with scandiskw.exe. > Make sure there is nothing in the Autoexec.bat file asking Scandisk to run. if you want to turn that off ..edit msdos.sys and set "autoscan=0" > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > (the one with the blue screen) that has nothing to do with scandiskw.exe. > Make sure there is nothing in the Autoexec.bat file asking Scandisk to run. |
