defragmenting
I have just formated the HD and reinstalled win 98 after
lots of problems. Now when I go to defrag the HD I get this message. ID# Defrag009 Your computer does not have enough memory to defragment this drive. shut down one or more programs and try again. Well guess what it drfrags D. E just find and I have no programs running in the BGround. it will not work in safe mode either. I can not scan disk either only at the dos prompt will scan disk work. win 98 does not allow defrag from the dos prompt. ANY SUGESTIONS |

DEFRAG009 Computer Does Not Have Enough Free Memory
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=229154 Unless you want to start over, you will probably need a partitioning program to straighten out the cluster size to partition size. I use: BootIt Next Generation is available from: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ and it does partitioning, makes a compressed image, does many other partitioning chores and is a boot manager. It is not quite as easy to use as Partition Magic but it is half the cost and has more features. Unlike the crippled PMagic demo, BING is a *full function* demo you can try for FREE for 30 days. The web site has a lot of support articles. -- 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 "Pat" wrote in message ...
