When I try to run scan disk (C drive) with Windows XP
home ed. it starts step 1 of 5 and get's half way through
the files then quits. It restarts Windows and starts in
scan disk again but quits at 50% again over and over. I
have tried starting in diagnostic mode but same problem
occurs. Another computer has Windows XP and similar
firewall, antiviral etc and scan disk (chkdsk) runs
through all phases fine.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
