Get the free ScanDefrag. It is the most advanced disk maintenance program there is. It runs Disk Cleanup, ScanDisk, and Disk Defragmenter.<br />
<br />
It's easy to setup and use, and it can deal with problems like &quot;drive's contents have changed: restarting...&quot;.<br />
<br />
Get it and read about all the options it has that you can use. It is a small download.<br />

<br />
First configure Disk Cleanup (tick all options), then ScanDisk (as suggested by ScanDefrag) and at last Disk Drefagmenter.<br />
<br />
Click RUN and let the process finish. If the HDD is as messy as it sounds, it may take a while to finish the 3 processes, but be patient, it will pay back.<br />

Hi, <br />
My Win98SE machine takes about 12mins to boot. &nbsp;Here is exerpt from bootlog:<br />
16:11:56 &nbsp;429.944 LoadSuccess = C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS and<br />
16:20:07 188.444 InitDone = TSRQuery (time estimated)<br />
<br />
<br />
Why would these durations be so long?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
