Thanks for the tips guys. Much appreciated.

I tried to run the scandisc in safe mode, but as Tworails stated, it keeps restarting and then telling me that it would complete it's task much quicker if the program attempting to write to the disc was not running.

I had a look in msconfig and there is nothing running that shouldn't be. Also in safe mode most of the "normal programs" are not run.

I was able to defrag the drive in safe mode with no problems.

Computer still seems sluggish after doing so. Have even run Adaware and Spybot.
