Using Control Panel/System, but don't do that, it's not the problem.

As someone else remarked you have no problem running scandisk in DOS 7 (either 
boot to command prompt or single MS-DOS mode), unless you run the old version 
left behind in your DOS 6.2 or earlier directory - which will potentially 
screw your LFNs.

However that is not the point. The thing should run under Windows. It doesn't 
work because Task Scheduler/System Agent insist on writing stuff to its log 
while the scan is running. This only affects larger disks where the scan takes 
a long time.

Your options are 

-	to launch scandisk from a program that pauses Task Scheduler/System 
Agent (that you may have to write, as I did)

-	to use a different scheduler 9if there is one that doesn't have this 
problem


-	to launch scandisk manually after pausing Task Scheduler/System Agent.

Or if you aren't using Task Scheduler/System Agent, post a list of the 
processes running at the time (you'll need a proper task manager such as 
PrcView http://www.teamcti.com/pview, which shows processes that have 
registered as services and comes with a command line tool as well).
