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

Check control panel>Scheduled Tasks to verify whether or not chkdsk is scheduled to run
ASKER
ok thanks for explaining that,
just another thing, why is it doing this now? i've checked the scheduled tasks and the only thing there is symantec norton scans.

chkdsk c: /f
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.
