how do i run chkdsk when booting up pc? While Windows is running, type the following into Start > Run and click OK: chkdsk /fYou will get a popup window that asks if you want to run chkdsk the next time the system is started. Type Y and press Enter.Reboot. Let chkdsk finish.

Thanks, I tried that, but when I attempt to run defrag I receive an error that states chkdsk scheduled to run??

Are you saying that after chkdsk ran, and after Windows subsequently started, you again tried to run defrag and got the same message? YESOr are you saying that when you rebooted, chkdsk did not run? YESThose two "YES" statements appear to me to be contradictory. Either chkdsk ran or it did not run.Assuming that chkdsk did NOT in fact run on reboot, the problem likely is that some service is interfering with chkdsk's ability to lock the volume. This can be difficult to track down.Here's one method:Start > Run > msconfig > OKClick the "Services" tab.Check the box at the bottom to "Hide all Microsoft services."Click the "Disable all" button.Click OK.Start > Run > chkdsk /f > OKAnswer Y when prompted.Reboot.If chkdsk runs on this reboot, then you know that one (or possibly more) of the non-Microsoft services that you disabled was causing the problem. Figure out which services it was by going back to msconfig, re-enabling half of the services you disabled before, set up chkdsk /f again, and reboot. By process of elimination, you should be able to determine which is the interfering services.When you are done, go back to msconfig and on the General tab, select the "Normal startup" radio button and click OK.In order to permanently disable the service, Start > Run > services.msc > OK. Scroll through the list of services until you find the one you want to stop. Double-click on it and set the "Startup Type" to "Disabled." OK.
