re: disk fragmentor when running stops at 2% Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 10:55 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steverz (216 messages posted) Run your computer in Safe Mode (on boot press F8 or Ctrl to get to the Menu Options). At Menu Options select Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, place any screensaver to "none". Put your Antivirus program (if you have one) on "disable". Now do a disk defragmentation. After that, go ahead and do a "scandisk using the 'thorough' option". When you have finished, just shutdown and reboot as the system will come up inthe normal Windows mode.
