On my old PC I could never conduct a native Windows defrag within a Windows session. I was taken into a dos session where Checkdisk was run automatically after a restart . I do not know why this was the case and on my new PC I can defrag fined within Windows. Both PCs ran XP Pro so this difference in behaviour was odd
The solution on my old PC was to use a third party defrag utility - in my case Norton systemworks. Accessibility was not great but I got the job done.

The CHKDSK is actually to do with disk check. Are you sure you didn't mean check disk? -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: [email protected] MSN: [email protected] Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOHN O CARVALHO" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 2:14 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] diefragging Hi everyone, Here's my problem.
