  • I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.

    When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f..  If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps.  Can anyone help?

    It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.  That's the short answer.

    If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).

    On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):

    When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
     
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

    Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

    If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

    If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

    You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

    Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

    If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

    If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

    Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

    You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

    This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

    When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

    The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
    .
    These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

    Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

    When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.
    Cannot lock the current drive.

    Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
    check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

    When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

    When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

    You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Description:

    Checking file system on C:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.

    A disk check has been programmed.

    Windows will now check the disk.
    39070048 KB total disk space.
    25151976 KB in 78653 files.
    48256 KB in 10264 index.
    0 KB in bad sectors.
    237080 KB in use by the system.
    65536 KB occupied by the log file.
    13632736 KB available on disk.

    Windows has finished checking your disk.

    If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

    If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

    If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

    If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

    Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

    Hi Alicia,.

    We would like to know more detail from you to help you better.

    (1) have you tried to run the Disk Defragmenter using Task Scheduler?

    (2) was your computer when you had scheduled disk defragmentation?

    If you use a specific program on a regular basis, you can use the Task Scheduler Wizard to create a task that opens the program for you automatically on the schedule you choose. For the task, automatic disk defragmentation to happen of the computer or the Scheduler to work must be powered on.

    Write us with the details asked. We will be happy to help you come.

    It seems that you have been run disc defrag manually.
    My suggestion is to install defrag a regular drive...

    You can "plan" disk defrag to date and time. It will take place at the scheduled time, you set up. In this way, it will run without interrupting your normal computer and without your presence chores.

    Here are the tutorials to schedule disk defragmentation. You can getwhat day of the week and what time.

  • I can not defrag.my PC, it is constantly in a X box [Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled

    complete the question was in my title.thank you

    When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

    Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting verification or suggestions for changes to the registry to make changes is a waste of time - that is not the problem.

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

    You will be not also solve this problem by editing your registry database (pay attention technical support engineers and moderators of Forum)-is not the problem.

    Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  • Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the Volume: C:. Please run Chkdsk /f.

    I know this question has been asked several times, but I did these steps and still not get Defragmenter to work.  My Disk Doctor said I don't have problems with my Defragler work program - but I don't have a C: drive not 'dirty '.  I have Windows XP Home Edition and do not know how to run an XP Recovery Console.  Y at - it an easy way just to get the Defragmenter to work?... when I run Chkdsk... It goes through stages and then closes and the problem is still there.  Defragmenter just stopped working, my computer everything works fine.  Help, please.

    Hmmm...  It should only take a few minutes for ImgBurn to create the bootable XP Recovery Console CD, then maybe one of the songs that you have downloaded (xp_rec_con.iso or install IgmBurn) won't quite right.

    You want ImgBurn to play a happy tune when it is successful and a "Oh no!" message when it fails, but it shouldn't take hours to burn this ISO file bit.  You can try another system.  You can always uninstall ImgBurn when finished.

    I say 'be patient' when you run the chkdsk /r command because sometimes it seems to be stuck (or even go back), but it should end later.  Depending on the volume size, the amount of data on the volume, the speed of your system and what the chkdsk finds to do, you can watch several hours.

    Look at these words from the mouth of Microsoft:

    If you use chkdsk /f on a drive or drives for very large (for example, 70 gigabytes) with a very large number of files (for example, millions of files), chkdsk may take a long time (for example, over several days) to complete. The computer is not available during this time because chkdsk does not relinquish control until it is completed.

    At the time of this writing, I'm guessing a disc 70 GB was "very large" but it is quite modest by today's standards.

    Now with today's technology, it is unlikely to take days, but it could still take some time!  If your HARD drive is afflicted with a problem material and dying, it can never finish or be unable to fix things.

    To start XP, it automatically checks each volume to see if it is dirty and will try to run chkdsk from the afflicted volumes.  Sometimes, it's good enough to clear the dirty bit, sometimes it isn't.  You will see a message at startup if the volume should be checked for consistency and XP will do the best.

    That's exactly what the message tells you:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))

    You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    To query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    If you are suspicious of your HARD drive and think it might be failing, now would be a good time to backup your personal data (documents, pictures, music, etc.) to an external location - a separate attached USB drive or a few clouds on the Internet.

  • Download a new version of Disk Defragmenter that allows scheduled defragmentation?

    Download a new version of Disk Defragmenter that allows scheduled defragmentation? I use Windows XP. My laptop, using Windows 7 has a feature.

    original title: Disk Defragmenter

    Hi, Frank III,.

    The following link contains useful information on this topic: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130539
    Basically, Diskeeper Corp. (now Condusiv Technologies) which has provided the tool found in the Windows Defragmenter also offers a product called Diskeeper that automatically removes and prevents fragmentation.
    I hope this helps!

  • Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

    Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

    There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

    It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

    System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

    Kind regards

    Hello Lorin,

    There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

    Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

    Delete files using disk cleanup

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

    a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

    b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

    c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

    d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

     

    Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

    (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

    Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

    System restore

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

     

    NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

    a. close all running programs.

    b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

    c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

    d. Select "start Task Manager".

    e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

    Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
