Try running the scandisk in safe mode.

But what you're describing above could be a symptom of some sort of trojan or spyware on your system. I would look into it if I were you.

You need a 3rd party scandisk, like Norton Speed Disk I think - I always had probs with the Windows scan - kept restarting - Norton does the job -
