Cant defrag my C: drive!

Jimbo · 7 Oct 2006 at 20:03

For some reason I cannot defrag my C: drive, it just refuses to do it on a reeboot using perfect disk. I tried O&O and it goes through it in windows but the files are only about 1% defragged.. help?

Can you post a screenshot of the xp analysis

Jimbo · 7 Oct 2006 at 20:22

You mean the info file before you defrag?

I could but i dont think it will help you. I thought it might be because i switched my page file to another drive but thats not it. Perfect disk says it cant get access to the c: drive for some reason and says do it on a reeboot.. i do and it says there might be a driver conflict? I cant see any.

There you go fella...

You need a minimum of 15% freespace, especially if you got large files on the drive. Try clearing space and try defrag again.

Jimbo · 7 Oct 2006 at 20:36

I was thinking this also.. I thank you for your help. I will free up some space and try again.

Thanks again wizardmaxx.

Just to say also, i am trying to shift files and folders on to my maxtor and the pc just froze. Its unfroze now but taking an age to transfer a 1.37 gig folder.

do you have antivirus?

disable it when moving files/folders across drives

Let us know if u come right m8

Ok thanks, I have disabled my Kaspersky and no go. I unplugged my maxtor and still theres a problem. Perfect disk says there might be a driver conflict although i can find none. Theres something not right though, it locked up transfering files for ages.

I'll do some investigating and report back soon.

I dunno theres some really strange stuff going on here. I ran Windows defrag and it ran fine, then when I analyze it says it dosent need defraged, but when i run perfect disk, it looks totally fragged??

Fully.

Needs to be fully, you should know that being a senior member.

Sorry I had a few drinks and was feeling frustrated with my drive.
