Vista - defragmenting

In trying to run disk defragmenter, I get a message that says "Disk
Deframenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume (C.
Please run Chkdsk /f.
Does anyone know what this means?

Well unless you have scheduled chkldsk to run yourself it may be that Vista
has found the disk to have dirty sectors and the drive needs checking
(doesn't mean they are grubby or anything like that, it just means they need
checking for read/write access - so don't panic.) Allow Chkdsk/f to run and
then run defragmenter afterwards. Usually when chkdsk/f is actioned by the
system it checks the drive when you boot.
