re: Scan Disk DISK UTILITY HAS LOCKED Wednesday, July 13, 2005 at 9:46 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by trey (1964 messages posted) That message 'usually' means that a third party disk utility has locked the disk, like Norton Speed Disk or Disk Doctor. You may be able to go into Safe mode or MS-DOS and finish the scan. If you need help getting to those screens, reply back.
