Chkdsk and defrag

[BobbyA]

Help!!! Can`t defrag hard drive due to scheduled chkdsk
(but can`t find where this is scheduled). PC boots
with "Cannot open volume for direct access. Msoft error
823439 still outstanding? Any fixes please!!

This seems to be a very common problem recently.

Do you have ZoneAlarm 5 ??

[[Since the new version 5.0 of TrueVector accesses the disk so early in the
boot-sequence, CHKDISK cannot run with the /F option at boot-time, because
it needs to access the disk directly.]]

Uninstall ZA5 and install an earlier version.

Wes, thanks for the advice. Uninstalled Zone Alarm 5 and
chkdsk ran on re-boot. then fragmented drive. Result!.
Need to look at what I`m doin with ZA.
Thanx again.
