So i just went and uninstalled all the *edited* i let accumulate on my harddrive for the past semester, and was planning on running a defrag to make all my files pretty again. (Lord knows we all love solid blue, rather than multiple blue lines)

 

Get into the defrag program, hit analyze and gives me a WTF message. Says i need to run Chkdsk /f. So i open up cmdprompt and type it in and it gives me another WTF message. Say that I cannot perform ChkDsk /F while using that disc (um thar be the catch-22). Asked me if i wanted to do it immediately on a restart, so i hit “y” and then did a merry ol’ restart. Took longer than usual, so i think, sweet that worked. WRONG… didnt perform the check and still will not allow me to run a check, because I’m still using that drive.

 

 

all i can think is to convince my dad that it is non-repairable and make him buy me a new lappy for xmas (cause the warranty just ran out lolz)

 

Do i need to start my comp in some sort of strange mode, and do the run there, then come back to reg windows and do the defrag there? Suggestions? Comments? Trolls? Christmas Cookies?

 

Reformat ftw, once my desktop can haz ram i’m reformatting my lappy :P
