When I try to defragment Presario (C
a box pops up with the message:
(Circle with X in it!)
Disk defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the
Volume: Presario (C
please run Chkdsk/f.
When I use 'Run' I get the message: Windows cannot find Chkdsk/f. It then
says to use 'Search' to find the file. When I do this the message, "Nothing
found in files for query".
How can I resolve this issue and then be able to defragment? Thank you.
Try to set the CHKDSK to default by doing this step:
Open a Run Command and type in:
CHKDSK /D click [OK] and Reboot your machine.
Run the Defrag, does it run?
If it doesn't run, you may have Pagefile.sys damaged/corrupt. Try to
recreate the pagefile.sys.

You can solve this problem by recreating the pagefile. To re-create the
pagefile, follow these steps:
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click My Computer.
3. Click Properties.
4. On the Advanced tab, in the Performance section, click Settings.
5. In the Virtual Memory section, click Change.
6. For Paging file size for selected drive, click No Paging File, and
then click Set.
7. Click Yes after the following warning appears:
If the paging file on volume X: has an initial size of less than xx
megabytes, then the system may not be able to create a debugging information
file if a STOP error occurs. Continue anyway?
(X is the drive letter and xx is the amount of RAM installed on your
computer minus 1 megabyte.)
8. Click System Managed Size.
9. Click OK four times, and then restart the computer when you are
prompted.

The thing you need to know is:
- How much disk space on this machine ( Defrag need at leat 15% of the HDD
capacity).
- How Much RAM
Why you trying to defrag? Does the system Slow?
