Hi,
Ever since I installed a RAID 5 card (and I've uninstalled it since) when the PC reboots to run scandisk (or the program you run from the drive's property->tools) it still says that it can not get exclusive access to my drive.
I am in the process of upgrading from XP to win7 (or I guess I should say 'installing' win7 as this requires a fresh install). I've cleared my C drive and I plan to format it during the win7 install (I've already done this on my notebook... I get a lot of you can't do this or that but I'm just following the win7 upgrade instructions from MS).
Dumb question: Will a disk format accomplish the same that as scandisk? If not, then I definitely want to run scandisk but am not sure how but I certainly do not want to run it before I format and after the upgrade its a whole new ball game so maybe it will work.
Thanks for any advise!
Rusty
