defragmentation detected corruption

[cliff]

Running Defragmentation gives error: The defragmentation
utility has detected corruption on drive (C:. Please run
chkdsk /f.

Running chkdsk shows no errors.

All the service packs and critical updates are installed.
I've run chkdsk in safe mode. Same results.

I do appreciate your input.

Have you run chkdsk /r? That will check for bad sectors in empty sectors,
which the defragger may be finding, and which chkdsk isn't looking for.
