Disk Defragmenter analysis

Need some help with this problem but I can't really call it serious.  When I run the disk defragmenter and click "analysis"  it always states "this volume needs defrag".. No matter how many times I defrag.  the analysis always states needs defrag.  Any ideas?

You may need to run chkdsk to fix a file system error(s) before it'll defrag. OR, you have less than 15% of the hard drive's capacity free for use by defrag.

 

Start>run

Type in: chkdsk c: /f

Click OK

Accept the offer to run chkdsk at next boot and then reboot.

chkdsk will run before windows starts again.

 

And next time, please edit your existing post. Don't create a new thread just to add more info. To edit, click Options on the right end of the title bar of your post and select Edit. This assumes you're logged in.
