Hi Helen: I have always had to do the defrag first, that is why I placed it in that order. When I attempt to defrag first, any computer, I typically receive a "must scandisk first" error. So, I scandisk first, defrag second, no problems. Maybe it's just all the wacky machines I have worked on. Thanks for your support to my post.
