schnozzer Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I just updated and ran CCleaner before defragging my partiioned hard drive. Now when I go to the defragger and try to analyse the 'C' partition it tells me that Chkdsk is cheduled to run on this section and I should run Chkdsk /f but when I type that in run it appears to work as I don't get any error message but when I go back to try analyse the partition I get the same message again. None of the other partitiions have a problem just the C one. Can anyone help me with this as I never had this problem before I updated CCleaner today? Thanks in anticipation.

eL_PuSHeR Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Have you tried doing a reboot to see if chkdsk comes alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think Chkdsk always tells me it will launch on restart. Could CHkdsk only respond to an administrator and ignore user requests ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted May 7, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2013 maybe the partition has the dirty flag set and just needs it cleared.

Moderators DennisD Posted May 7, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2013 maybe the partition has the dirty flag set and just needs it cleared. I have never heard that term before (yea, I should get out more), so for any other uninitiated readers, some info about it including how to set or unset it ... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490641.aspx I'm sure mta won't mind me posting that.

Moderators mta Posted May 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2013 you are correct Dennis, I didn't mind at all. if I had not been rushed I had intended to give more details, but figured the OP would have enough to go on from there. so, thanks.
