I guess I should be saying erorr checking not disk check. If you go to start/my computer/right click on c drive/properties/tools. You can click on the check now button. When I do this I get the error I stated above. I think the defaulted "error check" and Nortons may be fighting each other. Also typed chkdsk/f in run line, got an error asking me to check typing etc... Thanks JB

Thanks for the reply. The defrag and clean up work fine. It's the disk check on the system that wont work and the disk doctor from norton's that wont work. Thanks, JB

Hello, I'm having problems with completing a disk check on my computer with both Nortons and Disk Check. I have windows XP and have norton's utitilties installed. Also have Zone Alarm and a Hot sync program for a palm pilot phone. If I try to run Nortons Disk Doctor I get the following error: Yuck! "The operating system, or another process, currently has exlusive access to this Drive. Disk doctor cannot repair under these conditions. Do you want to schedule at start up...." If I try to run Disk Check I get the following error: : "The disk Check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some windows files on the disk. The files can be accessed only by starting Windows. Do you want to schedule at start up...." When I answer yes to scheduling at start up with either Nortons or the Disk Check it will not repair the errors and asks me if I want to schedule at start up again. It just keeps me going in circles. Mad!!! Any help will appreciated. Thanks in advance JB
