Can CheckDisk and Defragmentation de done in safe mode?
If yes, it is better to perform them in safe mode since minimum
programs are being loaded in safe mode?
Defrag can be run in Safe Mode but, unlike Win9x/ME, it is not usually
necessary to run it in Safe Mode in XP. If you want to run it in normal
mode just shut down all other running programs.
Chkdsk doesn't run from within the operating system so no, it doesn't
run in Safe or regular mode. Here is a link explaining more about
