you boot into safe mode by hitting f8 before it starts loading windows. several other methods are listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;EN-US;180902

your scandisk will repeatedly read and write if it finds a lot of errors. especially if youre running a thorough scandisk, which can take hours. if its still not done after an overnight session, then you should be concerned.
