I need help from you computer buffs! I have just received a copy of ETKA and in the instructions it says you need to run the defrag prior to instalation, but I keep getting a message that defrag cannot be carried out as "chkdsk" is scheduled to run??? and I should run "chkdsk/f" ??? I have looked in the scheduled folder and nothing islisted?? I'm running win Xp serv pack3 any idea's???

what you need to do, is click start, then run (box will pop up) then in that box type "shutdown -s"

without the "'s :)

Seriously though...

To open Scheduled Tasks, click Start, click All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks.

Just remove it from there

a checkdisk (chkdsk) may be scheduled to run on next restart, restart the PC and it should run before booting in to windows.

when it has run, run a defrag Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter

let that run

Chkdsk won't be scheduled by windows (or seen in windows) as it does the chkdsk before windows boots.
