Go to your command prompt (Start&gt;Run&gt;CMD) and type<br />
<br />
chkdsk c: /f<br />
When prompted to schedule it on next reboot say yes and restart your computer. It is a disk check similar to Windows 98's scan disk.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I am trying to defrag my C: but when I select either to Analyse or Defrag, a message box appears stating<br />
<br />
&quot;Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the Volume C:&quot;<br />
&nbsp;Please run Chkdsk /f<br />
<br />
What does this mean? I've never had any problems like this before and have never heard of Chkdsk/f.<br />
<br />
Many thanks in advance,<br />

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
