I am trying to run check disk with repair (chkdsk.exe /f). I schedule it to begin the next time I start the computer. It starts and runs through each of the three steps in about one minute or less. It then shows the report.

I have run scan disk on windows 98 many times. It seems to me that no matter what it is called, check disk or scan disk, one can't run in a minute while the other takes an hour.

I think there is something wrong with my scan disk operation. There is no way it can check a 40 GB drive in less than a minute. I have run this about a dozen times. Some from the command line in windows and some from the command line in safe mode. It is always the same. I believe I may have errors on the disk and want to repair them.

Can anyone help? Does your check disk operation run the same way?

Thanks
