Defragment my personal computer.

I can't defragment my personal computer.  It is said to run Chkdsk /f.  I tried to run several times, and nothing happens.

Hello

·        How you try to run Chkdsk? When you are started on the desktop or start?

·        What happens when you try to run chkdsk? You get the error message? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

I suggest you to set Chkdsk to run when the system restarts the next time. Follow the steps mentioned below to set Chkdsk to run when Windows Vista reboots the next time.

a. click on start, then run.

b. in open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

c. use one of the following procedures:

Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

Procedure 2: To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / f, and then press ENTER.

Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

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

b. Type O, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

Procedure 2: To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

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

b. Type O, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    The way that some colleges set up is, when you graduate you can continue running the license, but if you lose it by formatting the machine or otherwise, you will need to buy a license or reinstall the original license that you ran before the upgrade of the company.

    Some colleges use KMS license that requires that the license be reactivated in 180 days. Thus, you need to remove after you graduate, because you will not be able to connect to the school network and turn it back on, which is required by KMS activation.

    Hi Sissi,

    Yes. Rapid deployment would be appropriate.

    Also, as you do this for the purpose of learning, I suggested to be in my experience at least 4 GB of RAM. (because Windows 7 takes about 1 GB of RAM & remaining 3 can be used by the virtual machine, so 4 GB is better for optimal performance).

    If you want to watch the Oracle RAM in case specifications, its 16 GB

    Hello sunilnishad111,

    It would show only the name of the working group that would have previously connected to you. The name appears in the properties of the computer does not mean that you are connected to a workgroup. You can even change the name of the working group just to confirm that the computer is removed from the working group.
