Resolved xp-home defrag problem

boswloco · 2010/03/07

How do I resolve this... To begin with, the computer is running fine otherwise. When I attempt a defrag, it "completes" after moving slowly (but continuously) for about 18%. Then, another window pops up showing a log of the files (about 20 in various foldes) which could not be defragged. I then do a "chkdsk ". Nothing changes. Is my harddrive shot? And/or, am I doing something wrong? Please help, someone.

Hi boswloco, Welcome to Windowsbbs!

Try running Auslogics Disk Defrag and see if that program will run on your system.

I would highly recommend running Auslogics Disk Defrag when compared to the standard Windows version since Auslogics does a much better job at defragging your system.

Also please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions.

Note: A common error is to forget to show your system details in your profile:

To have your system specifications displayed in your profile, you have to click the link Edit Options, and under Thread Display Options< System Specifications select Yes from the drop-down menu.

Make sure to do the above when entering your System Details, thanks.

Took your advice and downloaded Auslogic's Disk Defrag...that took care of all but two of the files in the defrag log...a big improvement. Thanks!
