i am not sure why, obviously, but when i run the maintenance wizard and the
defrag and scandisk apps individually they won't work. the scandisk app will
start checking allocation tables (or whatever) and then check folders but it
doesn't get past one block on the percentage bar, then it repeats to
allocation files. Defrag won't get past 0%.... i hear the hard drive working
but nothing is happening. i went to dos to run scandisk and it says that i
need to REM devices inorder to scan the disk surface and then it quits. what
the hell? also...how can i view the .chk files that scandisk creates with
the lost file fragments?

thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
