I need to run a disk defrag on my laptop big time. i have a dell inspiron
6000 with windows XP home eddition on it. when i go to the disk defrag and
click defrag i get the following error message... Disk Defragmenter has
detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to rum on the volume: (C:). Please run
Chkdsk /f. so i go to the Run or the command promp and type that in and i get
the next message Chkdsk cannot run becasue the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time
they systems restarts? <Y/N> SO i clicked Y restarted my Laptop, it did
somthing in the beging and then started and still i cant run it, so then i
tryed N and then then i still cant. someone help please>.
 
Try running from cmd prompt,type:CLEANMGR clean up C: 1st,then type:
Defrag C: If CHKDSK C: is still coming up,read kb831426 To eliminate
it....
 
thanks for your help but that still has not corrected the problem. Does
anyone elese have any ideas?
 
I am having the identical problem on a Toshiba laptop. It started about two
weeks ago, possibly more. My machine started slowing down and then when I
tried to run defrag I started receiving this same "defrage has detected that
you are scheduled to run checkdisk" message, but I can't run checkdisk. I've
tried the "run checkdisk" at startup choice, but it doesn't help. I don't
think it's actually running checkdisk at startup.

Does anyone have some other ideas?
 
I'm having an identical problem on a Dell Inspiron 5100. It started about 2
weeks ago. Could this be a virus or some other problem? Defrag worked fine
before then
