re: "windoms was unable to complete the disck check" Sunday, December 28, 2008 at 1:42 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (5127 messages posted) You can't run a disk check in that way - that utility needs Windows not to be active and it prompts if you want it to run at next startup. You can run it by typing 'chkdsk' (no quotes) in the start . . . run box - look up which switches you want after that command here There's little point in defragmenting NTFS-based systems - did you have a special reason for wanting to do that ? PS What's with the 'windoms' ?
