Defrag problems
I know of two thing that will keep DEFRAG from running
A Program running that is writhing to the Diver or No Memory He have not say how much Ram or Free Space he haves and we need to know! Or why he need to Defrag! If he running Defrag to make Free Space it will not Free up Space its not made to do that! For Defrag made to put Files to gather so PC can run Faster open a files and Software! It not make the internet faster it has nothing to do whit it... so we I Need Know how much Ram or Free Space and Why you need too DEFRAG? so we can give the right help to run MS DEFRAG that is what he ask for First! For if he can not MS DEFRAG no DEFRAG SOFTWARE will work if the No Memory right Bill Blanton...... so ask question for you just quoted and thank you for asking me Why do i ask....... "Bill Blanton" wrote in message ... I have no idea the amount of resources available on Aster's system. Why do you ask me? I was answering the question I quoted.

This program will do that. There's an option to use Msconfig, but the better option is to run it in the "Restrictive mode". This will unload unprotected non-system processes. Most processes don't even load as it runs before the desktop loads. http://www.blueorbsoft.com/scandefrag/ |

Can it be configured to run Defrag only, without prior Disk cleanup and ScanDisk/ChkDsk operations? Also, according to microsoft, the volume must have at least 15 percent free space for Defrag to completely and adequately defragment it. Defrag uses this space as a sorting area for file fragments. If a volume has less than 15 percent free space, Defrag only partially defragments it. So, if my 20Gb hard drive has only 1.53Gb free space and I have performed defrag, my volume has been just partially defragmented? |

"Aster" wrote in message ... I tried to defrag HD from MS DOS, I restarted PC into a MS-DOS prompt, typed defrag c: /f /sd- /skiphigh but got message saying that "this program requires microsoft windows".. So defrag utility does not work from DOS. Defragging from Windows does work, since it constantly restarts and says "drive's content changed: restarting", then tried defrag from Safe mode (from Run command prompt) but had the same issue "drive's content changed: restarting", just less frequently. Finally I tried "Selective startup" in Msconfig, unchecked all boxes, restarted into Safe mode, then run command from command prompt. I was able to defrag, but it took a huge time. And I still I faced the same problem a few times, "drive's content changed: restarting". Is there better method or better tool for defragging? The default windows tool is too ugly. |
