Wonderful in XP, but Vista had problems...

<< < (4/4)

That is most likely because once those scans hit a bad sector on the drive it comes to a screaming halt lol

Sometimes it isnt actually locked up, but instead waiting for the read or write command on that bad sector to finish, which depending how bad the sector is, can take a long time.

I agree. That does seem to be what's happening.

I hate doing the hard reboot when it won't unlock on it's own. Has anybody ever had success using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to shut down softly? I've haven't had any success with it on any computer in many years...
