I wanted to defrag my system files which can only be done during a reboot.
When I ran my software it said it failed to start and I needed run chkdsk
/f/r. I have tried many different ways to get check disk to run, none being
successful. These include running as administrator from the command line,
going to cpropertiescheck for errors, running check disk from tuneup 2008
software...nothing works. I contacted the ever-helpful folks at dell (I have
an inspiron 1525) who told me that check disk no longer works with vista.
Since I know this to be false, is there any way to get my check disk to work
properly?
Thank you

I have read previous posts on this subject and none work. (running in safe
mode etc) When trying to run check disk at start up, a blue screen pops up
during bootup for a second and then windows restarts again. I am running
vista home premium sp 1.
Thank you

Read the above link.
It is worded differently in Vista to do Disk Check.

I have the same issue. unfortunitly I did attempt to run the check
disk as above and it did start. Then it stop and closed without error
without completing.

Just about to shoot vista.
