what are you on about? no one has double posted
anyways, to enter safe mode, it depends on your operating system. On some, you might have an option where you can restart your computer in safe mode, but in other you might have to try this (im not sure if this works on all operating systems though...):
1. shut down your computer
2. turn your computer on
3. while your computer is booting up, hold down the 'Ctrl' button
4. at a certain stage in startup, an ms-dos menu will apear, scroll down the list and press enter on 'safe-mode'
your computer will then start in safe mode
either way, once your in safe mode, look on the task bar on your desktop, and see wot programs are running (near where the time is displayed), if anything is there that constantly runs in the background, you can close it. some programs can still run while scandisk is operating, but they are usualy system programs or other programs that are sitting idle.
Run scan disk, and if it still doesnt work, make sure you've closed all non windows system programs that could be causing this, and if it still doesnt work, run a lap around the room screaming about cheese, then you can sit down and notify us
