Please I need to defrag my hardrive.
Please I need to defrag my hardrive.
I never used XP but are you sure it doesn't come with one? W2k does.
It has one, now about it working, that's a whole different thing.
Why doesn it work. What is it it is doing that tells you it is a MS product?*smile*
it takes ages, to get up to 1%......
Well how long ago did you defragment? How long does it take to get to 1%? How big is your HD?
uh 30 gigs and I figured that after about 10 to 15 minutes if should go above 1%...
I have seen slower defrags then that..Leave it over night
it took my friend 3 days to defrag his harddrive after about 2 months of not doing it.. his has 28 GIGs full of crap.
Two Days straight? Oh my Lord.
get the real defragmenter Windows just licenses the light version of the defragmenter
get diskkeeper 7.0
http://www.executivesoftware.com/execsoft.asp
(why does it sign me out?)
and btw with diskkeeper 7.0 you don't need as much free space to run it with the version in xp you need to have a bunch of free space to run defrag with diskkeeper you don't...
Thank you all for your help.
U need to close every running thread except explorer for it to work. If you have "findfast" running, I belive this is the problem.
I don't know what findfast is, care to explain?
No you don't have to close every thread..I am runing words right now while I am doing a defrag...NPQuote:

I have a 40 gb hd 7200rpm and it takes only 20 minuets to defragment. Norton utilities comes with a defragmenter and I got it for free (with a rebait) and compusa
Linux is so sweet :D
Its ext3 filesystem doesn't get fragmented
