IF you are not getting the message " It is safe to turn off " There may be different reasons \nyou can use the scan disk to scan the harddisk for errors or bad sectors. \nThere may be some process which is running in the background which does not allow the system to shut down. you will have to find out .

Because some files have been selected to be moved to another part of the hard drive. If you are going to run defrag run it completely - it can take a while. Should not have to run this but rarely on new computers. Run scandisk.

Try doing some maintanece on your computer.\n\nGo to "All Programs"\nClick "Assessories"\nClick "System Tools"\n(Do the following tasks one at a time, or you'll overload your system)\n\nFirst, clean out your sytem by clicking "Disk Cleanup". If you have more than one hard drive clean out each one. This gets rids of unnecessary files and also spyware your scanning programs might have missed.\n\nWhen you are all done with this, go back to "System Tools" and click "Disk Defragmenter" This program moves around your files so that they can runs better and keeps things from crashing. If you have never defragmented your computer(which ought to be done about once a month) it make take an hour or more.\n\nYour computer should work better after these steps. If it does not, check to make sure that your processor is new enough to handle the software you are using.

New hard drives are so cheap now that I would not even waste my time debugging the problem. Go out and buy a new cheap drive and give it a shot.

That is because you are accessing the files on the C: drive right now.  There should be an option asking to rescan during your next reboot (of you are running Error Checking from the Properties of the Local Drive).  That is the option you need to take to completely scan the drive.

Give it a thorough 'disc check' and 'defragmentation'.  If you do not know how, modify your question.

You probably need a disk clean up, go to start, run type "cleanmgr" click ok then ok again

ABOUT SCANNING:\n\nScanning is a legacy of the Unix/Win95/98 era. Before, everytime your computer crashed or turned off without a proper shutdown, it would recommend that you scan the hard drive for disk errors. In fact, many older Unix machines require you to do this; otherwise, they just wouldn't run. WinXP and Win2K are quite resistant against these types of errors, which rarely occur anyway.\n\nSo, you only need to scan when your computer turns off without a proper shutdown sequence. In addition, you could run the scan once every several months just to be safe. It probably won't have a tangible difference though. And if you have WinXP, you probably never need to run the scan more than once every 6 months.\n\nABOUT DEFRAGMENTING:\n\nYou need to defrag your computer if the hard drive starts making a lot of "clicking" noises every time it is accessed. Defragmenting once every other week with Win98/ME, once every month with Win2K, and once every other month with WinXP is recommended if you move a lot of files around.\n\nYou should run the analyze tool that comes with the defragmenter. If it's over 15-25% fragmented, you should run defrag. This is especially true if you're using Win 98/ME. Win2K/WinXP use NTFS, so they're less prone to fragmentation.\n\nIn addition, WinXP automatically defrags your computer on idle. I move thousands of files each week, and it's still less than 10% fragmented.\n\nSo if you use WinXP, unless you hear your hard drive making "clicking" noises and slowing down, you don't need to defragment it more than once a month. Personally, I almost never have to defrag my hard drive.\n\nLastly, if you have a small hard drive or not much ram, you'll probably be using a larger portion of your hard drive for the pagefile, which will get accessed more often. In this case, you'll need to defragment your hard drive much more often.

I too was facing the same problem a month earlier. I tried many ways to solve it. Later I was completely bugged with the blue screen so I repartioned the entire disk and now things are back to normal.

I have had this problem lots of times. When you next start up your computer follow these steps:\n\n1. Click 'run' on the start menu\n2. Type in 'cmd' - this will take you to a command prompt screen.\n3. Type in 'chkdsk /r'\n4. It will say that this programme can run when you next restart your computer, so type 'y' (yes)\n5. Now restart your computer and the disk scan will commence - it may take a while though, so do it at the end of the day.\n\nYour computer should be fine afterwards.

First step would be to defragment the troublesome partition.  If the problem still persists try a 'Restore' point where the computer was behaving itself.

If it's windows.\n\n\nYou need to run disk clean up. Click on My Computer and highlight the drive you want to clean. Do a right click and select properties. Run disk clean up.

There is a PST Repair Tool. Search your hard disk for SCANPST.EXE and run it. Locate the PST file you would like to repair.  It will scan the pst file for errors and repair it.

well restart it and put it in normal and then go toaccesories in the start panel and system tools and select disk defragment and start a defrag of the hard disk,this will take a couple hours but it works,if u cant put it in normal try doing the same in safe mode
