Safe Mode
To make ScandDisk work properly, I have been advised to do a Safe Mode Boot. I am running Windows ME. My computer will not boot in safe mode. I have tried holding down the CTRL key, and then the F8 key, and neither one will get me into Safe Mode. At the screen where I think it should go into Safe Mode my system beeps and says Keyboard Error, Fixed Disk......
Anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks,
Richard

Put a blank or non-bootable disk in your floppy disk drive. Reboot. When you get the error message, remove the floppy disk and hit the F8 key twice. It should give you a menu from which you can select Safe Mode.
