 :Pthe syntax is fixed
xp windows pro2002 512mb diskdrive=maxtor6e040L0 USB=intel 8280db bios award6.00pg intel celeron 2000ghz mps uniprocessor direct x 9.0 .. i have seen a previous log where as the great patio instructed try run chkdsk /f my system does not know this command it is run through m/soft online and i have not used this instruction yet due to running regcure and various other headaches through this computer but i would prefer 2 defrag alone now. this system did run CHKDSK results are = file=ntfs  then (warning f parameter not specified) then it stated CHKDSK is verifying files then it counted indexes followed by security then the screen disappeared i then tried sys restore to no avail either then i tried 2 defrag again and a popup stated action canceled then it shows help box which goes nowhere but back to action cancelled  auto updates are off due 2 sp2 not wanted and causing a problem getiing rid of it again sorry about the long list but that is where it is at thankyou Dude carbonoxide....disk space is 25% full and error log is sending every 10-20 seconds maybe due to syntax error

have you tried check disk and defrag in safe mode?

Chkdsk can also be run from inside Windows, WITHOUT using cmd lines.

In my computer, right click the drive and select properties.
on the tools tab, click Check now (that's what it says on my Windows 7 install, it may be different for Win XP)
Tick both boxes and click start. (it will complain it cannot check a disk that is in use)
Click yes to the boot time scan, and restart the machine, and let it run through.

If this does not fix it, Download, install and run a program called Defraggler, it is mafde by the same people as CCleaner and runs great! I found that I had one drive I had was somewhere in the 90% fragmented range, and Windows Defragmenter just gave up, however Defraggler did a great job and bought it back down to 1~2%

All the best!
