hi e choosing normal would have been much faster than thorough, but tell you something you don't already know, huh? it occurs to me that you are trying to run the windoze defrag while having norton installed. why are you not trying to run norton? i have seen instances of norton's presence being enough to lock the disk so that the windoze tools could not run. i have also seen where this effect did not occur. perhaps you will benefit from sticking with the norton defrag tool (speed disk) instead of going back and forth from the windoze tool to norton. in reading through the posts, i see that you are about to reinstall winme. very ambitious undertaking, and i trust ed to provide you with valid advice. if your disk locking dilemma does not get resolved by the winme reinstall, i recommend re-running ndd in DOS (making sure to select the faster 'normal' mode this time), then following through with running norton speed disk, not windoze defrag. good luck :) mark
