Defragmenting D Drive

[Mark]

I have a windows 2000 server with a C and D drive. I can defrag the c drive
but when I try to defragment the d drive I get a message that says "disk
defragmenter cannot defrag this read only drive (d)

Any help would be appreciated

What user are you logged into as and what permissions does this user have
for this drive?

Do a chkdsk first on the drive in question.

George,

It came up with errors (I ran it without /F). Once these errors are corrected, should the defrag utitlity work?

Thank you,

Matt

It doesn't help defrag if the drive has errors. But if it fixes it I don't really know. Fix those errors and try it.
