Hi,

I am trying to fix a HD and I get a panel with a messaeh that metions this..

"Disc couold not ne repaired as it is being used bu another application.
Close app and make sure no windows are open".

I have Explore on 'My Computer' so the drive isn't shown, Took of
Nortons Auto" Email stuff and as far as I know there is no apps going to
the drive.

How do I find what is attached to this drive. I can't see anything
obvious in Task Mgr.

I do have the box connected to a Home Network and it is in Firewire box

Thanks

Rock

Are you trying to use Disk Check on the drive? You may want to set it
to do the check before Windows loads. It is constantly writing to the
disk which would prevent it from exclusive rights to the drive.
