Try running defrag in safe mode. If no luck, try running scandisk in
thorough mode and then try defrag. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ... |

Assuming you ran scandisk in thorough mode and fixed any errors, try these
things: 1. Apply one recommendation at a time and then try Defrag again to see if it helped. 2. Disable the screensaver, anti virus program and the cable/DSL modem, if any. 3. Delete the files in the Recycle Bin, the browser cache (Temporary Internet Files folder if using MSIE) and the Temp, History and Recent folders. Corrupt files can cause Defrag problems. 4. You may receive a notice indicating the drive was written to and caused Defrag to restart. This means some process is causing hard drive activity which interferes with Defrag. Either reboot to safe mode and run Defrag from there or use EndItAll2, a free program which shuts down nearly all running programs except Explorer and Systray. Download the program from he http://www.docsdownloads.com/Tier1/enditall.htm To boot to safe mode in W98, see: http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q180/9/02.asp 5. It's possible corrupt files in the Cookies and Applog folders will cause Defrag problems. Since those files contain useful information, you can either move them to a partition other than the one being Defragged or to floppy disks. Once Defrag is complete, you can replace the files. If it appears either folder contains corrupt files, you will either have to try to determine which files are corrupt, delete all the files and let them rebuild as part of your normal operations or move the folders during the next Defrag session. If you run into problems deleting a file because it is corrupt, try deleting it from a DOS prompt. 6. The first Defrag after installing or upgrading to Win98 may take a significant amount of time to complete. Also, Defrag may appear to stall out at the 10% mark; however, this is a common occurrence. As long as there is disk activity, let Defrag run. The appearance of stalling with W95 may also occur but it will generally be before 10%. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ...
