does anyone know of any issues relating to linux bootloaders, and running scandisk / defrag, ?i get problems with scandisk too, takes ages, I want to rule out boot loaders, so I can concentrate on the main job which is to check for errors and defrag the drive.
I take it by this you mean "will scandisk try to defrag my bootloader?", in which case the answer is no - anything which isn't FAT, ie. isn't a Windows partition, will be invisible to Windows. So you couldn't defrag it even if you wanted to! Hope this helps.
