Came across another partition while defragging...

What's the spec of the rest of your system?

I assume that you've got the HDD partitioned into 2? This could maybe account for the extra delay?

Click to expand...

Q6600 @ 8x450=3.6GHz with P5Q Deluxe.
2X2GB PC8500 Corsair.
ATI Radeon 4870.
Samsung F3 1TB 32MB Cache HD.

And yes you are correct. Its partitioned into two.
C: = 150GB
D: = 850 (less system data etc).

You honestly think the partioning aspect could be the reason for this? Interesting suggestion...

When overclocking, is there any voltage that I need to up in order for SATA to work properly? Or any other setting for that matter?

Thanks for your help teaf.
 
Just ran the process monitor suggested by faugusztin and when I run defrag I can see one of the entries as "BUFFER OVERFLOW" and detail as "144"
Other entries for defrag are successful.

Any ideas what this could be? Is there a potential issue to be solved?
 
Managed to change the drive label of my system partition so it now shows up as System Reserved in Defrag at least. Still not sure why your defrag takes so long to open, I have my hard drive partitioned too so it's not that.
 
Mine does take a few seconds to start because it has to spin up a few drives that are sleeping but if I run it a second time it's almost instant.

Also defragging an SSD is pointless and causes unnecessary wear on the drive.
 
Defrag takes about 5-7 seconds to load up on mine, with no partitions and 3 hard drives, with about 2.5TB of data on if that makes a difference.

I also dont have the system partition appear on Win 7 Ultimate RTM.

Edit - Just tested on my laptop, defrag loads instantly and it has a "system reserved" partition, not the random letter one you have, it's running the same windows version as main pc
