You said the server was NOT serving pages. But, no, you can't - Checkdisk should be scheduled at boot time and then the server re-booted. The run time for the operation on an NTFS system could take from 10 to 60 minutes depending on how large the drives are. During this time the server would be offline. The reason for that is so that the file checker will not run into open (but maybe corrupted) files and skip them. Following the checkdisk operation, then the defrag should be run as well. and the length of time that will take will depend on how long it has been since it was last run, and again, the size of the drives. The defrag operation can be run while the server is up and running, however, it will not defragment any files that are in use at the time. For a live server that is doing part of the job, the decision should be made whether to take it off line now for the operation, or to schedule it for a late-night when server traffic is not a factor. That is the server admin's decision.

So you think this is a sign of a much bigger problem? Can I run check disk while the server is serving pages??
