Disc Defragmenting

[Bill Rose]

I have tried to de-fragment the C drive today, Each time I do I get a
message sayin 'Aborted due to incinsistences. Run CHKDSK and Defrag again.
I have done this but I still get the same message over and over again. Any
Ideas please
Regards
Bill Rose

How are you running it? If you're doing it from the GUI by right clicking
the drive and selecting to check it for errors from the properties menu then
you will need to tick the box to go ahead and have it fix the errors. You
can try start button > run > "cmd" without the quotes > "chkdsk /f /r"
without the quotes... If it's a drive other than the C: drive then you'd use
chkdsk X: /switch and where X is the drive letter. Additionally, the /r
implies the /f but, well, that's not entirely always true and using them
both in tandem won't have any ill effects but will ensure that both are run.
(/f is fix and /r is repair bad sectors and /r implies, as I mentioned /f
but it's just as easy to use them both to make sure that it's getting done.)
