Don't think it is worth it.
A surface scan will take a while depending on the size of the drive. It likely won't help.
Waiting 20 minutes is the last resort.

If it is a brand new computer
Turn it off by cancelling the Scandisk and going to the Start button.
Take shut down and wait for the computer to turn off.
Turn it back on and let it boot up
If you see an error
Return to the computer store, or refer to the documentation for a toll free help number.
This applies even if you have been exploring or mucking about. Generally if you get into the CMOS, you can cause some problems similar to the ones you are seeing, but most new users would have to be pretty venturous to do that. If you have not overridden any "dire warnings" or "are you sure's" it shouldn't happen on a new machine.

The new Dell computers have (for a while now) an offset partition with all drivers and software loaded right on the hard drive, as long as you haven't fdisked it, it is there. One 3 1/2 disk gets you back to point A, it is neat, but I wonder why I have had to do it. <g>
