 2 questions w/ 2 problems in XP Media Center involving defrag & chkdsk:
1) attempted to run chkdsk from the command prompt with no success due
to the error message: cannot open volume for direct access; 2) now
when I attempt to run defrag I get the error message: disk
defragmenter has detected that check disk has been scheduled to run.
Please run check disk. Now I am stuck in this loop because I can't get
check disk to run. What do I do now? Have tried suggestions I have
discovered here but nothing has gotten chkdsk to run. I need help.

 Reboot. CHKDSK will run before the OS loads.

Sensei,
I believe if you re-boot the computer, the check disk will run during the
boot up process, after that you will be able to run the disk defrag.

I have tried re-booting but chkdsk does not run.

Download, burn, then boot to Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) bootable
live windows
CD/DVD, and run chkdsk from there. http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
