unlock hard drive in windows me
« on: April 13, 2009, 08:12:23 AM »
When I try to run the scan disk or defrag a message pops up stating that my hard drive is locked thus not allowing the scan disk/defrag to operate. I thought it possible that my anti virus program may have locked up the drive so I uninstalled it but Im still having the problem. I ended up uninstalling any and all utility programs I downloaded  just in case one was causing the problem without positive results.  I tried using the DOS prompt for windows 98 (unlock c:) since there was no prompt listed for windows ME however that didnt work. Bottom line, can someone tell me how to unlock the hard drive in windows ME?
Thanks
