Windows 7 BETA Problem/Bug Report

Maybe it's just taking up memory to run that scan?

no. becuase if you close it right after you start scan disk it will still eat up all of your memory untill there is none left. the only way to regain it is to kill the process and restart it. i've tried it on sevral diffrent hardware configs, all resulting in the same issue

I just ran the check disk and explorer doesn't eat up any more memory while running the scan disk. Memory usage stayed about the same while running scan disk.
 
odd. it dose it for my 3 machines here :confused:
 
you should run scandisk from a CMD prompt anyway, its far more informative.

Whats the use of a scan if it doesnt tell you what it found wrong!
