Scan Disk Errors

[Dove19983]

after scan disk runs i read the log file in the c: dir and it tells me that the filesystem was reporting the free incorrectly. what does this mean and can i fix it?

basically it just means that in some point along the timeline of the last time you ran scandisk windodws crashed without being 'shut down' (like *eeeerrp* lockup, power button) ... which causes files that were in use by windows to be mis-reporting thier file allocation space, altering the ammount of 'free space' you have on the Hard disk...

yes, just tell scandisk or norton disk doctor to fix the error... it won't hurt anything, and is actually a good idea... you can't defrag a hard disk with errors on it.
