If you're getting "Checking files" and "Checking free space", then you've run CHKDSK with the /R switch. (Or something else ran it that way.) /R tells CHKDSK to do read verification of the entire partition. "Checking free space" means it is reading every block on the LUN that isn't being used for something else. So the fact that the drive is empty won't help you. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
