If you are starting the computer with a boot floppy, try creating
a new one.

While I would want to diagnose the problem further (first by making sure you
have a good Startup floppy disk), Scandisk is *not* required to do Setup.
You can use a switch to tell Setup to skip Scandisk.

Type in "setup /?". This will show you all the options for setup. Try the
option without scandisk.
Most likely, you're running an oversized partition that scandisk can't
handle. Or, reduce the partition size to less than 64GB.

Your hard drive might have non-standard partitioning. If so, and you install
to this drive, you will need to use third part software for scanning the
disk.
