Scandisk

I am having a problem with Scandisk:

1. My Me system runs Scandisk whenever it is restarted, even after Start -
Shut down - Restart or Ctrl-Alt-Del; could that be because I once cancelled
Scandisk before it had finished?

2. I have renamed c:\windows\command\scandisk.exe to scandisk.exe.org but
Scandisk still runs; how can that be?

3. If I let Scandisk run, it does everything including the sector check OK,
then starts the cluster check.  After some time; it fails with the following
message or a variant of it:
Error 06 : 0028 : 00000017
If I press a key, it continues, then fails again:
Error 0E : 0028 : C14E4005 or similar
If I then press a key, it sometimes continues, sometimes hangs.  Once when
it hung, it showed a partial screen-saver; I did Ctrl-Alt-Del and the dialog
showed that the screen-saver was not responding.  I did End task and it
re-started Scandisk.

Any ideas?

1) yes - let the scandisk finish, or it will forever keep coming back!
2) because you will probably see that windows has regenerated the
scandisk.exe file (although it may also be using the scandiskw.exe file) -
since it's part of the protected file system in Win ME
3)  What size is your hard disk? - there can be issues with very large
drives, where the number of clusters overflows the counter, and  things get
a little screwy from there on in!<g>
Try running Scandisk while in Safe Mode, rather than normal mode

Thanks for your response, Noel.  The disk is only 20GB, which I should not
have thought was a problem.  I had better try running it in Safe mode.
