I am looking at a system which is running slow but has plenty of disk space (disk is only about half full). When I try to defrag it, it refuses to do so and says ChkDsk has to be run first at start up.
As I understand it, Chkdsk is looking for bad sectors on the disk? if so, why does it stop Defrag from running first? And is there any risk from running Chkdsk if there are potential disk problems?
The only time I have been unable to get Defrag to run is when a hard disk is more than 85% full, which isn't the case with this one.
