now to the problem, currently I'm using two hard drives, and wishing to defrag both of them. the first one (which is my spare) WORKED fine, however i cant find my main hard drive in the list. i attempted to use a system restore but it says, windows has found file system corruption. it comes up with the option to do a system check. saying yes, next time i restart it does the system check but to no success. it cannot run due to an error created from a previous installation.
the hard drive itself is able to function with playing games, its just i wish to do a defrag.To run checkdisk, right-click on a command prompt icon and open as administrator. In the command prompt window type: chkdsk /r (then press ENTER). You'll be told the disk is in use and asked if you want to run checkdisk on the next boot. Say yes, exit the command prompt window, and reboot.
BTW, if the drive designation is not c: then the command should be chkdsk x: /r (where x is the correct drive letter)I attempted that, but it sill says there's an error, as created from a previous instalment, please use system recovery to go BACK to a previous version. And if I try that, it says, windows has found file system corruption. Please try a system check. And it just keeps going in circleshttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833If you got file corruption problems in your Windows 7 then you can try to run the sfc command
Code: [Select]sfc /scannow It will scan your system for file corruption. Then in order to defrag you got 2 options.
- Go in safe mode and try the default defrag program from MS Windows (I hate that one)
- Download Auslogics Disk Defrag and use that one for defrags
Hope that helps you.Thanks for the help. After all that it STILL didnt work, but the program bigbangnet suggested found it first try, so I'm just going to use that. Thanks Allan for trying but to no success =)
