DEFRAG problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

When does the error occur? As soon as defrag is launched? While it's
doing it's preliminary chores, or after actual defragmentaion has begun?

Try my Clean Boot methods and run it in Normal Mode, article link in my
signature. Be sure to run Scandisk first, choosing a "Thorough" scan,
but don't have it automatically fix anything. Just report back with the
findings.
