I https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/can-t-use-disk-defragmenter-because-of-checkdisc-chkdsk-f-186480/ tried going to RUN the typing in Chkdsk /f.

Cannot defragment because of Chkdsk problem Started by Yeoman , Mar 13 2006 05:18 PM Page 1 of 2 1 2 Next 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 disk defragmenter has 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:).

I have been reading a previous post by another of your members (Lifeson) who had an identical problem around Feb 26 2006 at 0318PM.

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:03:18 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.
