Checkdisk, chkdsk...any risk?

Am using Windows-XP-professional. Trying to solve a defrag problem.

On one of the PC's here, the Defrag keeps saying "some files could not be
defragmented". In the old Windows days, you could run chkdsk /f and it
helped these things.

Is there any risk in going to the c: prompt and giving this a try. (Even if
you think it won't help, still would there be any risk in using chkdsk?)

Thanks,
George
 
You will have a better chance by defragging under Safe Mode . Or course
there may always be a few files that cannot defrag due to the fact the
operating system is working during this process. Jym
