Hello, I've been trying to defrag my computer for a minute! and everytime i try a window always pops up saying "disk defragmenter has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on the vol C please run chkdsk /f." what should i do???

This is a forum for Exchange Server questions, so you might have better luck using a Windows XP forum. However, I suspect if you reboot that Windows will check the disk on reboot and then you can run a defrag. Hope this helps!

Hello, It seems the current issue is Window system issue. Please understand that we mainly discuss Exchange issues in this forum. I suggest writing a post on the Vista forums, for your convenience, I have included the link below. http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/default.aspx?forumgroupid=204&siteID=17 If you installed Windows XP, you can refer the following link for help. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups.mspx I hope your issue will be fixed soon. Thanks, Elvis

Hi although this is for Exchange questions only, as this is a simple one i will attempt to answer it for you. Goto Start > Run type "cmd" press Enter in the command line window enter "chkdsk C: /R" (C: being the drive you want to check) it will probably say that the disk is locked due to use and do you want to schedule one at next restart. press Y key Reboot your PC (Note that the /R switch will do a full check of the drive and could take some time) after this you should be able to defrag smoothly. Hope this helps!
