Chkdsk wont work

[mpbunch]

I went into cmd and disabled the constant disk scan on startup
I now am trying to check disk in cmd per a page on this site and it says the volume is being used by another process..the c drive is dirty per cmd. How can I do a successful disk scan? I just freezes at 15000 files on the startup, thats why I was told to disable it on start up and try the cmd . the computer does work fine once in windows though. I cant even do a system restore, it wants to scan disk...

sys is: windows vista home prem with sp1
hp dv2500 laptop

Maybe one of these will help you :
ChkDsk does not run at startup in Vista
If ChkDsk Runs On Every StartUp.
