I have been trying to help my friend with his computer. I did check disk on
it and it went fine. I went to do defrag and it says that "disk defragmenter
has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on Volume; (C
please run
chkdsk /f."
Have checked Scheduled Tasks and checkdisk is not listed on schedule.
How can I get defrag to run and get checkdisk to let defrag to run?

Navigate to this key in your registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager.
change the BootExecute to read autocheck autochk*.
That should fix it.

Reboot the computer. Allow chkdsk to run. Reboot again. Run the
defragmenting program.
