Re: Defrag and chkdsk problem together

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

You cannot run chkdsk on the drive / partition in which the Windows operating system resides after the system has completed the boot process. There when you ask chkdsk to check the drive / partition the system schedules the check to be carried during the next boot.

How many drives? How many partitions?

I am not familiar with stages 1, 2, and 3. I will make enquiries.

Thank you for quick reply Gerry, i done all scan by using hdtune as you show
me, and also deleted all temp internet files, after 1 hour scan my hard disc
(120 Gb), the result come out is ok, nothing wrong with hd. One thing that i
see funny is: when you go and run chkdsk/f & /r, the computer said they can
not run due to some thing in the computer are using.......then they ask Do
you want to run chkdsk when i restart the computer? but don't matter you say
yes or no, chkdsk still do the check. 3 stages on chkdsk. stage 1 is varify
files is ok 100%, stage 2 varify indexes, o% and say that there are
unspecified error occur, and in 5 second later they start boosting my
computer.

With regard to chkdsk and Disk Defragmenter it can help if you remove
Temporary Internet Files before you run the utility.

HD Tune.(freeware). Download and run it and see what it turns up.

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on C:\ under Drive letter
and then double click the two page icon  ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message.

Run Error Scan.
