Howdy:
It means you have a program running in the background that is inhibiting scandisk..
Two choices: First is to use ctrl-alt-delete and End Task everything except Systray and Explorer, disable your screensaver and any power management setting.. Now try scandisk and defrag.. or,
Second: Use the recommended method and boot into Safe Mode.. Now run scandisk and defrag..
In both cases, reboot when finished to let Windows load normally !!
