Error Message "Windows Cannot Defragment This Drive now Because It Has Been Locked by a Disk Utility" When Using Disk Defragmenter

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;286810

what OS are you using?
After reading the above you might, or might not...given the situation want to DL a free disc defrag progie. easy enough to find in a google search.
Note:You might not need it, you might not be able to use it.

Scandisk is best run in DOS; and Defrag is best run in Safe Mode. The reasons are that windows is constently making disk calls (reads and writes) which interrupt and cause defrag to start over.
