Hiya there, I am not sure where i should post this, but thought this might be a good start as any. I have been trying to start the disc defragment on my windows xp home edition, but every time i do this i keep getting the message:- Disc defragment has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on volume c. Please run chkdsk. /f. I have no idea what this is and how i can get the defragment going, as my disc space is going down. I would be grateful if anyone can tell me the correct forum i need to post this into or to help me in here. Thanks Frankie
Just type chkdsk c: /f in the RUN command window. You will be prompted that it cannot run because the volume is in use, and do you want to schedule for next time your system restarts, click Y. Reboot and chksdk will run, afterwards you can can run defrag.
Hiya DFL, Thank you, the defragment is now working. I was not typing the chkdsk in the run command correctly. Thanks again, Frankie
