checkdisk runs every start,can't defrag

Hi Tommy,

Have you tried Manually scheduling it to run, but included the "Fix errors",
and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"?
(Right-click your C: driver, choose properties, then Tools, then "Check Now"
button.... schedule the run, and then reboot.)

That should take care of it.

If it never fixes errors found, it will keep trying to warn you.

If it keeps running it after you've done the fixes.... that does not bode
well for your drive.... consider downloading a diagnostic tool from your
drive's manufacturer - if the above doesn't work.... nip those drive
problems in the bud.

Good luck,
-Lawrence in Seattle
