momchil Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 hi, i've got a little problem with my computer. every time i start it, windows begins checking disks (C;) and (E:). I thought that there must be some kind of problem so i made disk cleanup and i tried disk defragmenter but the defragmentation didn't start on volume (E:). It release a sign saying "disk defragmenter has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on volume E: . please run chkdsk /f". So, now i don't know what to do. Please help me!

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Welcome to the Windows Forum.Did you initiate the CHKDSK, or did the Defragmenter do? Either way, you should reboot and let CHKDSK run, then try again.If you still have difficulties, check here again, and we will suggest you alternative solutions.

momchil Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I restarted the computer, let the check on both the volumes, but still the disk defragmenter doesn't start on volume (E:). There's no problem with volume (C:) but the sign keeps going for (E:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 This is the Windows Defragmenter, I assume? I don't know why it is behaving like that; perhaps there is a problem on your E: drive?Anyway, I would try a different defragmenter - one that is (a) faster than the Windows defragger, (b) proven safe for many years, and © coincidentally written by the same company that wrote the original Windows defragger.Search Google for Diskeeper Lite, and you should find dozens of downloads for Diskeeper Lite 7.If you have any Intel hardware on your system, you can download Diskeeper Lite 9 from the Intel Desktop Utilities from here. This is a very large download; Diskeeper is in the 3rd-party folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Is disk E a second hard drive or a CD drive? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 There are other solutions as well. I find they work much better than the Windows defragment.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb897428.aspx - Contig (GUI here)http://www.defraggler.com - Defraggler (BETA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 http://www.defraggler.com - DefragglerCaution: Defraggler is not only a completely new product, it is also still in beta test!Diskeeper on the other hand has been in defragmentation technology for well over ten years, so chances of data loss are minimal.

andsome Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Diskeeper is supreme as far as I'm concerned. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Actually my suggestion was the free Diskeeper Lite, which does not have any of the boot-time defrag options. But the normal defragger is the same as the standard Diskeeper product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Even Diskeeper lite is preferable to the Windows defragger. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 That is true - even though they were both written by the same company: Executive Software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 The MS version was obviously a VERY cut price version. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help me!Try going to the hd's manufacturer's website, and download a diagnostic program. If there are any errors on the drive, the diagnostic program should fix it. Good luck!
