There is information here about running Scandisk. You might be best to run
it from DOS.

I read through your suggestions...tried what was
applicable and still to no avail! To run from DOS do I
just use the start scndsk command or can I set up the
properties of the scan there too?

To run Scandisk from DOS you need to boot to DOS from an emergency startup
disk. You can set scandisk options by editing scandisk.INI, or you can use
command line options. Do SCANDISK /? to see the options. The default options
should be just fine.
