Cannot defragment because of Chkdsk problem Started by Yeoman , Mar 13 2006 05:18 PM Page 1 of 2 1 2 Next https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/can-t-use-disk-defragmenter-because-of-checkdisc-chkdsk-f-186480/ Please log in to reply #1 Yeoman Posted 13 March 2006 - 05:18 PM Yeoman Member Member 90 posts Please bear with me - this is my first posting. I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I cannot defragment because of a popup which reads, "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume (C:). Please run Chkdsk /f. If I try to run Chkdsk it comes up and says, "Cannot check this volume (NTFS) because it is use http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/102137-cannot-defragment-because-of-chkdsk-problem/ by another process. I have been reading a previous post by another of your members (Lifeson) who had an identical problem around Feb 26 2006 at 0318PM. I have started to follow the expert's instructions, but when the computer appears to be checking the disk, I get no information as to where it is at. I.e., there is no text anywhere on the screen either during the check or after it to tell me what is, or has taken place, in fact I dont even know when it has finished. The only clue I get is the computing activity light flashing which may or may not mean that the processor is addressing my DOS commands. Before I continue to try to follow the previous member's fixing instructions (and so far I have established that I have a "Dirty Disc" on C Drive) I really need to know what is happening after I make a CMD in the DOS box. Am I missing something, or should I just plough on with the fixing instructions and hope that what I am inputting is happening? I would be very grateful if someone could assist me in this.

Every time I try it gives this error message " Disk Defragmenter has detected that chkdsk is schedules to run on volume: PRESARIO (c. Please run Chkdsk /f." I tried going to RUN the typing in Chkdsk /f. It runs the disk defrag program says it will be complete upon restart. So I restart my computer try to run defrag but the same thing still happens I have tried these about 5 times but still the same thing. Any idea on how to stop this?

Starryblue2, Jun 14, 2006 #3 Emtronics Joined: Jan 20, 2000 Messages: 2,984 Run defarg in the Safe Mode and see if you get the error. Tap F8 at post startup before Windows starts and choose SAFE MODE, then run Defrag and reboot.

Windows XP can't Defrag C due to scheduled chkdsk /f Started by TheManInTheCUBE , Mar 08 2009 10:26 PM Please log in to reply 4 replies to this topic #1 TheManInTheCUBE TheManInTheCUBE Members 40 posts OFFLINE Local time:02:50 AM Posted 08 March 2009 - 10:26 PM Every time I try to start the DEFRAG C I receive a message stating the Chkdsk is scheduled to start on next re-boot, and Disc Defragmenter can not start until Chkdsk has performed it's job. The problem is that Chkdsk just never starts so I am stuff now not being able to defragment my hard drive. Is there a way to unschedule Chkdsk so I can at least defragment my hard drive? I've tried running chkntfs /D to return to defaults, BUT Disc Defragmenter still keeps on telling me that Chkdsk is scheduled on next redoot and cannot work until it has completed it's scan of the drive.
