System description: Toshiba satellite P105 with Wndows XP SP2 installed RAM =
1GB
This is a relatively new laptop (6 months) that I am unable to run the
diskdefrag utility on.
When I try to run the utility I recieve the error message "Disk defragmenter
has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume:SQ004047P00 (C).
Please run chkdsk /f.
When I attempt to run chkdsk /f I recieve the following error message:
"The type of system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
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 have selected both options (Y/N) and restarted the sytem with no apparant
effect. There seems to be no time lag when the system restarts so I question
whether chkdsk is even run at the start (assuming that it takes a minute or
two to run).
I have tried to run chkdsk from the run command line but the window
immediately closes when I hit the enter key (operator error?)
I tried a "cold restart" where I shut the machine down completely with no
apparant success.
I would greatly appreciate any advice/links/help etc. I am not very computer
literate.
Thanks,
Bob
