I have installed XBMC on a Zotac MAG ION.
Is it possible to defragment en check the harddrive within XBMC Live?

No need. Defraging is a Windows thing.

fsck is the equivalent of chkdsk.
fsck /dev/sd*
^ Do not run that that will check every disk. Need to figure out which is your disk.
Linux is structured
/dev/sd{a-z} being the hard disk
/dev/sda{1-100) The number is the partition number.
So like fsck /dev/sda1. it will be need to run with administrative rights. So actually
sudo fsck /dev/sda1
Pertaining fragmentation as poofy hairy guy said there isn't much need on nix. I tried a few defraggers and didn't notice any benefit so just skipped it.
