Disk Defragmenter

[Guest Jim]

When trying to perform a defrag I get the following message: Disk

Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is sceduled to run on the volume (C:).

From previuos info Chkdsk is suppossed to start itself upon a re-boot. But it

does not. I downloaded a third party 30 day trial Disk Defragmenter to try (

Diskeeper 2008) but it gives me a meesage that it cannot run until the Chkdsk

has run. I have Windows XP........any suggestions?

Jim,

 

See this KB: How to Cancel CHKDSK After It Has Been Scheduled

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/158675

 

It applies to XP, too.

Re: Disk Defragmenter

 

You can use SysInternal's AutoRuns tool to inhibit the AutoChk call at

boot up.

Re: Disk Defragmenter

 

It's in my XP Pro, and I don't even have CHKDSK set to run. In mine, the

entry is:

BootExecute = autocheck autochk *lsdelete, but that last part belongs to

Lavasoft (AdAware) and is not required.

 

Are you SURE you're in the right Key?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

 

If so. right-click the empty space on the right side, New>"Multi-string

value". Name it BootExecute (no space), then double-click it and type in:

autocheck autochk *

Then click OK.

Close Regedit and restart.

Re: Disk Defragmenter

 

It also applies to Windows XP. You can change the setting at a command

prompt with the following command:

 

chkntfs /d

Re: Disk Defragmenter

 

Jim

 

You say chkdsk does not run. What actually happens in terms of messages?

 

Run Disk CleanUp and see if that makes any difference.

 

How much free disk space is there on C?

Hope this helps.
