Hiya there,
I am not sure where i should post this, but thought this might be a good start as any.
I have been trying to start the disc defragment on my windows xp home edition, but every time i do this i keep getting the message:-
Disc defragment has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on volume :(c:). Please run chkdsk. /f.
I have no idea what this is and how i can get the defragment going, as my disc space is going down.
I would be grateful if anyone can help me in either telling me the correct forum i need to post this into or to help me in here.
Thanks Lynn
All you need to do is click on Start, select Run, then type in 'cmd'
A 'DOS' session will open, in there just type 'chkdsk /f' as per the error message, and chkdsk should just do it's thing for you..
You can run chkdsk without the '/f' if you want, it goes thru the motions without acting upon any problems it finds. You could then copy/paste the output here; copy/paste is accessed via the tiny "c:\" symbol in upper top left of the dos box..
..but there should be no reason to not action the '/f', it's obviously just wanting to fix a problem it's aware of.
