"unable to complete disk check"

brownman · 07-04-2009, 12:35 PM

ok, at first i was trying to defrag my computer when it told me that it couldn't due to a scedualed "chkdsk/f."

next, I went to chkdsk/f to run it so i could defrag.

thats when a message popped up saying "windows was unable to complete the disk check." it never even started to begin with.

now im stuck, any ideas?

are you putting the space after the k before the /
like this

chkdsk /f

Use this command:

chkdsk /f /r (1 space between k and /, 1 space between f and /)
