sneaks Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Does anyone know why when i try to de-fag my computer it has started to stop at 14% saying it is complete then when i analyze it again it says "You should defragment this volume". Any suggestions to fix the problem will be very welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xircon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Try running in safe mode, something is interrupting it probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orbrey Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm assuming this is the partition that the operating system is installed on. If so, try moving the pagefile to a different partition or drive and then try defragging again - you can do this by clicking: Right click my computer -> properties -> Advanced tab -> Top 'Settings' button (in 'Performance' section) -> Advanced tab -> 'Change' button in bottom (Virtual Memory section) The C: drive should already be selected, choose 'no paging file' then click 'set'. Then choose the partition or drive you want to move the pagefile to and click 'system manages paging file' then set again. OK all windows, reboot, and hopefully that should help. Hope it does, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me-and-pippo Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi sneaks, I had the same problem last year and a few days later the hard drive died. So I would back up any important files just as a precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
