chkdsk

Amvian

When I try to scan my C: drive for antivirus, before
finish scanning, there is error message popout to
run "CHKDSK /F"
So I open my command prompt and enter "CHKDSK /F", prompt
asks me with this message

"Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)"

I say Y and try to restart, but CHKDSK didn't do anything.
Can anyone have idea how to run CHKDSK

P.S. my computer always try to reboot with no reasons and
I have two operating system in my desktop (Window XP and
Mandrake)

Thank you!
