I'm optimizing a system running XP. I plan to do a chkdsk /r. Does that take care of what defrag does? Should I also run a defrag first?

Defrag afterwards...no they don't do the same thing...
Re-boot in between.

To run checkdisk properly with xp boot to the recovery console and then run chkdsk /r

Yeah, I've been told that before. However, in this case, I'm doing it remotely and the person on the other end knows nothing.

Thanks.
