Partition not showing up in Defrag 1

[jshurst]

Recently I ran CHKDSK on a drive partition (D. This is on a laptop where I have a C: (OS) and D: (DATA) partition. It is a single disk that just has the 2 partitions. When I ran the CHKDSK utility I forced a dismount of the D: drive and now it won't show up in the Defrag utility.

It shows up under "Computer" and I can access the disk just fine. It also looks fine under Disk Management. Does anyone know how I can get it back in the Defrag utility?

Thanks,

J

Is it the built-in Windows Defrag or some third party program?

The hard drive manufacturer will have free diagnostic software that is bootable, or that may even run from within Windows, that will thoroughly check the condition of your hard drive.

I forced a CHKDSK at the next reboot (had to do this via command line) and it is finally showing up.

Thanks for the info though.
