Thanks Richard.
It was a fresh install not long ago. It previously had W98 on it, so I wiped it out and put on W2K.
The disk looks a real mess looking at the defrags, lots of it it will not clean up. I have also tried formating the disk, but that does not work either. Bizzarly, the disk has an extra partition on it, and comes up as an E drive. This is just 15K, and I cannot seem to get rid of it, hence why I think the disk is screwed.
Happy to clear the whole lot down and start again, but as I said, the formating of the disk just does not coco.
Cheers
Splat
