defrag in windows xp

[Cynic65]

im having an issue with defrag in windows xp. I have a hard drive with three partitions (C,D,E). The D partition will not defrag because i keep getting a message saying

"Disk defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the voume: (D:). Please run Chkdsk /f."

Well Ive run Chkdsk /f and it wont run, saying it cannot run because its in a process already.

Also each time I boot up, D drive is checked in that blue screen, even though each time everything comes up perfectly fine.

The two issues are obviusly related. How can I fix both: defrag (D:) and stop the blue screen?

Try using chkntfs from the command prompt.

Displays or modifies the checking of disk at boot time.

CHKNTFS volume [...]

CHKNTFS /D

CHKNTFS /T[:time]

CHKNTFS /X volume [...]

CHKNTFS /C volume [...]

volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),

mount point, or volume name.

/D Restores the machine to the default behavior; all drives are

checked at boot time and chkdsk is run on those that are

dirty.

/T:time Changes the AUTOCHK initiation countdown time to the

specified amount of time in seconds. If time is not

specified, displays the current setting.

/X Excludes a drive from the default boot-time check. Excluded

drives are not accumulated between command invocations.

/C Schedules a drive to be checked at boot time; chkdsk will run

if the drive is dirty.

If no switches are specified, CHKNTFS will display if the specified drive is

dirty or scheduled to be checked on next reboot.

chkntfs works to stop the checks, but the drive still will not defrag.
