Restart your computer.
While your computer restarts, press and hold the CTRL key until the Windows Startup menu is displayed.
NOTE: If you are using the EZDrive tool, press F8 instead of CTRL.
Select the Safe Mode menu option from the Startup menu, and then press enter.
Now you will be able to run Scan Disk and defrag without problems.
After you are done with scan disk and defrag just restart your system.

You will also find that this problem of multiple restarts if you have an active screensaver setup. If so try changing your screensaver option to "NONE" before running scandisk or defrag.

Get and use that to defrag. It runs automatically in the background and does not restart when it encounters open programs. It runs regularly and is quite a bit faster than the built-in defragger.[/url]
