Guest paultooch Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Whenever I attempt to defrag C drive I get a message Defragmenter has detected that chkdsk /f is scheduled to run on the volume c. Please run chkdsk /f. I have attempted to run it in safe mode and that didn't work. I also attempted to do a system restore to a previous date. This also did not work. Any suggestions? -- paultooch
Guest Gerry Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Can't Defrag Paul If you restart your computer does chkdsk run and if yes have you allowed it to complete? -- Hope this helps.

You need to actually *run* chckdsk to clear it, and often you can't do this while Windows is running and taking control of the disk. This will happen in regular or safe mode. Go to Start, Run, type cmd and press enter. Then, type chkdsk. You'll hopefully be told that you need to schedule it to run at the next reboot, do you want to do this? Answer with the letter "y" and the enter key, then close the command prompt (type the word "exit"), and restart the system. Chkdsk will run and you should then be able to defrag once chkdsk is done and Windows restarts. Give it the time it wants. More information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 HTH -pk
