Why won't my computer let me defragment C drive?

What does this computer message mean? I was trying to defragment my C drive, however, I get this error:?

  • Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: PRESARIO (C:). Please run Chkdsk /f. I have no clue where to find this on my computer. Thanks

  • Answer:

    Your computer is telling you it wants to check you disk to detect and fix errors. It cannot do this while Windows is running and so - assuming you allow it - CHKDSK will run next time you boot up. Black screen with white text and when it finishes, your normal logon screen will appear
