are you running programs in the backroud? scandisk doesnt really like that.. quit everything else before you run scandisk

i quit every program i was using, but i had the mouse, keyboard and a few other default icons in the taskbar. maybe even though i need to close these too?

Yea try ridding your taskbar of those pesky icons and retry. Let us know what happens!
