For some time now,each time I start scan disk it stops resonding (I press alt ctrl and delete which confirms it stopped responding) I have left it running for an hour at least at times but never works. If I choose "end program now" my computer is sluggishly slow after,have to shut down to return to normal
Any ideas? email me please if you can help.

No NT-based version of Windows, including Windows XP, comes with 'scandisk'.
They have 'chkdsk'. You are not revealing to us some critical information
regarding your system configuration, or you are pulling a boner of trying to
use a DOS bootable floppy on an NT-based Windows in which NTFS is employed
as the file system.
 
Yes I have found that scan disk is the wrong term,it is actually diskcleanup.I click on start,,programs,,accessories,,system tools and then diskcleanup,,it opens the window and when I select it to start,it will not complete its task,just stops resonding and when I end the program,,my computer is sluggish after until I restart it.

On some hosts, I've seen Disk Cleanup take over 16 minutes before it
responds although there is almost no disk activity and little CPU usage. Go
watch a sitcom (if you can stand the crap), do some Internet research, do a
crossword, have dinner, or whatever. Then come back after half an hour to
see if it came back yet. I heard of one guy that said it didn't come back
until the next day (he waited an hour or maybe longer, went to sleep, found
it ready the next morning). The utility sucks for providing progress
information to the user. It is a crippled version from Symantec's Norton
Utilities. I guess Microsoft also decided to further cripple it with a
ridiculously long pause.
