"Chkdsk/f" Missing

JPC

0
Hi
Can anyone out there help?

When I try to use Windows Defrag on my wife's Toshiba Laptop using Windows XP, I get the message to "Run Chkdsk/f" first..

But when I try to run "Chkdsk/f" it says cannot find "Chkdsk/f"

I have "Norton System Works 2003" installed and was wondering if Norton Disk Doctor has taken over "Chkdsk/f" ?

Anyone know how can I find "Chkdsk/f" again please?

The reason why I'm trying to defrag using Windows defrag is because the Norton defrag doesn't seem to do the job properly despite exiting all programs.... The Laptop seems to work perfectly OK otherwise.

Thanks in advance JC
 
It may just be the way you've typed it, but it should be "chkdsk /f" and not "chkdsk/f" (note the space). Think I normally do something like "chkdsk c: /f". Failing that, try just typing "chkdsk /?" in the RUN (start menu) and see if it brings anything up.
 
or just do it via C: (or whatever drives) letter is and go Properties > Tools > under error checking click check now then tick the two boxes and youll be prompted that you will have to restart in order to scandisk, it should happen on bootup
