Hi, Folks,
Today when I Ran Norton Disk Doctor, Repair Your Disks, it froze on Windows (C:), on "Volume Label Is Norton Disk Doctor", Crashes the whole system. Just wondering if there's any way to Repair this, or if any Employees wish to investigate this. Grateful for any advice on this.

Hi, WINDOWS7. Sorry, forgot to include that!
Just some more information: When it crashed, I Closed N.U. and tried to Run it again, but it never really started because the Hard Drive was still cranked up. I then tried to Re-Start the computer, but froze on “Logging Off”. When the computer was Turned On again, as I had to Force it to Turn Off, I tried to Run the “Repair Your Disks” again, and the same thing happened: It Crashed on the same Volume. I then again Cancelled the Operation and Closed both windows of N.U., and, after a short time, the Hard Drive settled down.
Hello Flaoting_Red,
Can I ask which scan in Repair your disks your actually implemented. Please be specific about the options you select.
Regards,
Hello, Skreddy,
Thanks for your Message.
The Repair Your Disks Scan that this Crashes/Freezes is: Disk Repair > Check Disk > Windows (C:) > Start. Please let me know if you require more information regarding the Options that are Selected.
Hey Floating Red,
I would suggest try and select the option to repair the drive the next time Windows starts. Let me know after selecting this option your computer is still freezing.

Hi, Skreddy,
I did as you requested, and the Operation Ran, with the computer re-starting after it completed (Repair Disk Option was Selected) . I then tried to Run the "Check Your Disks", and it froze at the same location noted. I have done an un-install and re-install of Norton Utilities which results in it freezing at the location/Job noted.
Hey Floating Red,
Could you please try Windows' own disk repair Utility and see if that goes through? You can do this by doing the following:
1. Right click the actual C drive in My Computer
2. Select Properties
3. Select the tools tab
4. Make sure that 'Automatically fix file system errors' and 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors' are unticked
5. Select 'Start'
See if that goes through.
Skreddy.
Hi, Skreddy,
Thanks for your Message!
Can confirm that I did Run the Windows' Utility on Check The Disks, which slowed only about 120000 Files in, freezing the whole system, even after "Cancel" was Clicked on. While the File Number kept going up, it was only doing one file every five seconds, which means I would have been waiting for it to Complete for hours! I did let it run for about ten minutes to see if the speed would pick up to normal, but it didn't, so "Cancel" was Clicked on.
Many Thanks for trying to fix this fault.
