System Agent Reports Error After Running ScanDisk

 * }

Q135948

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following message after System Agent runs ScanDisk:

  Result: One or more drives could not be checked (249)

CAUSE
This message indicates that a drive could not be checked by ScanDisk because it was locked by another program, or because it was created using the SUBST command.

RESOLUTION
Make sure that no drive is locked by another program, and then run ScanDisk again.

Note that ScanDisk cannot check drives created using the SUBST command.

MORE INFORMATION
The behavior described in this article can also occur if you have scheduled both ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter to start when you start Windows 95. Both programs try to lock the drive at the same time instead of one program running after another. Schedule ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter to run at different times.
