    Ok, so since I had the virtumonde problem my computer has been a mite off...every time I reboot chkdsk runs FOREVER, then when I tried to defrag I cant do it because of the system needs to run chkdsk. I tried doing
    1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
    2. type "cmd" and return (note: dont enter quotes)
    3. Next type "fsutil dirty query e:"
    4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
    5. Next type "chkdsk e: /f /x"
    6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
    7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more
    ckdisk.

    this, but when I try to run the chkdsk it says chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts. I also tried turning virtual memory off of the C: drive to run those steps but nothing is working...any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I am a bit perplexed, from your" I tried doing" it looks like you are trying to check the volume on disk e:, not disk c: , what is on disk e:?
