CHKDSK won't run and blocks DISKEEPER

[Pierre Desjardins]

I set a boot-time CHKDSK /F to run in order to do a boot-
time defragmentation using DISKEEPER 7. I am on WIN XP
PRO.
But, on reboot, I get a message statitnd that CHKDSK
cannot open volume in direct access and is terminated.
This in turn prevents DISKEEPER from defragmenting
because ther is CHKDSK schedulled to run. And we go
around in circles.

What to do?

You really don't need to run chkdsk before each and every defrag session.
Run it once in a great while (every month or every other month) and
whenever you suspect a problem with the file system. I

Set the disk keeper program to do its boot time defragmentation. Disable it
whenever you feel like running chkdsk. Re-enable when chkdsk has completed.

My Chkdsk, will not run either, same error,says cannot
open volume. Just recently installed upgrade of AOl and
an upgrade of zonealarm. Found a Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article - 823439 that refers to this, but looks like
it has a date of 08/2003 and no solution.

You should start a new thread for your problem. It is not exactly the same
unless you have Diskeeper scheduled at boot too.
