My Computer Won't Defragment!

[:Ace:]

When I go to defragment my computer, I click "Defragment" and I get an error message which reads as follows:
"Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume HDD (C:). Please run Chkdsk /f."

So, I've clicked Start, Run and typed in "Chkdsk /f" and nothing happens.

Please help!

Thank you very much!

Try this:

Double-click 'My Computer'

Right click on the C-drive icon

Click 'Properties' then 'Tools'

Select 'Check now' in the error-checking box.

Check 'Fix Errors'

Accept the option to run on re-start.

Restart your PC.

These suggestions have been based upon Wikipedia, which has further information, here:

It still doesn't run when you reboot? You would normally get a DOS window saying that the file system couldn't be locked - do you want to run chkdsk the next time you reboot...
