DEFRAG AND CHKDSK PROBLEMS
How can I get my defrag to work?
I have ran chkdsk, /f, /x, /r...prompted to run at reboot and nothing...
Message says that chkdsk /f scheduled to run....
I have looked thru the message boards and still I cant seem to find the fix!
HELP PLEASE!

once you schedule chkdsk to run, it will not run until after the computer is rebooted.. there are a few ways to run chkdsk.. one is to go to start/my computer, rightclick on "local disk:c", then click properties/tools/error-checking.. another way is to go to start/run, and type "cmd".. then, in the dos window, type chkdsk /r, then "y" to confirm, then reboot.. you can also run just "chkdsk" from the command prompt, or "chkdsk /f" (from the command prompt).. as mary said, defrag is under start/all programs/accessories/system tools/defrag.. you can pin it to your start list

I Understand the difference between Defrag and Chkdsk…My problem is that when running Defrag I get an error message saying:
"Disk Defragmenter has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on volume C: Please run Chkdsk /f "
I have ran this with chkdsk, chkdsk /r, chkdsk /f, chkdsk /p….AND rebooted when it asked the question do you want to run the next time the computer is rebooted….

Ran chkdsk /f from DOS and Message:
"The type of file is NTFS
Cannot unlock current drive"

P.S.S.
When I run chkdsk I get:
"WARNING F parameter not specified.
Running chkdsk in read-only mode"
It will run 1 of 3 and then 2 of 3 and it deleted 2 index entries THEN
"errors found. chkdsk cannot continue in read-only mode"
and then it shows DOS prompt
