CHKDSK and Diskeeper

[Guest]

According to Diskeeper when I try to run a boot time defragmentation it cannot access my system disk at the time that I restart as it is being used by another process

Further diskeeper will not now allow me to analyse or defragment the boot disk (NTFS) because it says that I or the system has requested that chkdsk be run and this must be completed before it can work on the disk

The weird thing is that chkdsk e: /f refuses to run on the system disk even when I manually request it to do so. The machine just boots normally without the notification about the scheduled disk check that it is supposed to displa

Can anyone help please

I had the same problem with chkdsk (although I can't
speak about Diskeeper)and it was solved when I unistalled
Zone Alarm's firewall. If you are running Zone Alarm,
try uninstalling it, not just disabling it.

A significant number of users have reported similar problems with the latest
Zone Alarm release (v.5). Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater - just
go back to version 4.5. To do this, you need to completely uninstall version
5 first, following carefully the directions on Zone Alarm's web site.

Try running CHKDSK form the XP recovery console directly form the XP CDROM.
in this mode no disk files should be locked, since you will be botting
directly form the CD.
