scndsk cant access disk

message from =?Utf-8?B?Sm9obg==?= on 1 Jun 2004
I can't defrag because it says windows has scheduled a disk scan. When I turn my computer off and back on it says it is going to check the disk and then it says it can't access the disk. But I still can't defrang because a disk scan has been scheduled.
