I was using System Mechanic to defragment my computer and it comes out with the following error:: System Mechanic encountered a problem while attempting to defragment the current drive C:. This usually indicates physical corruption on the disk surface or other such structural issues. A thorough Scandisk operation(including disk surface scan) is recommended before attemting to defragment this drive again. For more information on Scandisk consult the Windows Documentation. Does anyone know what this is supposed to mean and how to fix it, I am totally clueless on this!!!!!!

Error message says it quite well: there might be some problems with your HD. So make scandisk operations as suggested to be sure.

Scandisk on Windows XP

To scan your hard disk for errors in XP do the following:

1. Click on Start and then My Computer.
2. Right click on disk you wish to scan and then click on properities.
3. Click on Tools tab at top of window.
4. Click on Check Now in the Error Checking section.
5. Click on boxes to automatically fix file system erros Says that it will only work with a re-start on c-drive - so click on 'OK"
