SYMPTOMS
When you receive one of the following error messages in Scandisk and the error message dialog box has only a Cancel button, you cannot close the error message dialog box by pressing the ESC or ENTER keys:

ScanDisk could not write to this disk because it is write protected. Remove the write-protect tab, reinsert the disk, and then restart ScanDisk.

ScanDisk cannot continue because the disk it was checking was removed from the drive. Reinsert the disk, and then restart ScanDisk.

The compressed volume file for this drive is too small. It must be at least 512K in size. This may be caused by an error on your host drive, which is the uncompressed drive on which the compressed volume file is stored. For information about how to continue, click Help.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION
