When I try to defragment C I get a notification about chkdsk being scheduled to run. Please run chkdsk/f

How do I do that?

Hello. The /f switch is used with chkdsk to find and correct errors on the drive. Open your command prompt, type 'chkdsk /f'. You may get a message saying that the /f utility cannot run because the disk is in use by another process. You will be asked if you want to schedule chkdsk to run the next time the computer is restarted. You may want to try this. Select 'y' and hit enter, then restart your computer. The chkdsk utility will run upon restart.
