RE: Defrag doesn't work

I follwed the instructions on the link, and the sfc /scannow command does
report that it found some corrupted foles which it ould not fix.

In step 2, findstr........ the command gives no response, just another C:
command prompt.

In step 3, the edit sfcdetails.txt command gives me this result:

'edit' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operative
program or batch file

So, I'm stuck.

Hi Alex,


This may fix things quite a bit. SFC \SCANNOW

It replaces corrupt files with intact ones.

Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop
responding

I'm suяe someone else will help you if this suggestion doesn't help.

Let us know what hªppens.


Good luck

Hi to all, and hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

I did a disc check, which I do fairly regularly as routine maintenance, but
the results indicated no problems (as usual), but the defrag is still doing
the same thing as I initially described.

If this can't be fixed, are freeware third-party defraggers such as
Auslogics or Smart Defrag safe and effective alternatives ?

Hi Alex,

If your HDD ( H ard D isk D rive) is running perfectly, that doesn't mean
it's going to stay that way forever!

Check your hard disk for errors ...

After functioning properly since I got a new computer with 64-bit Vista
nearly a year ago, the defragmenter now does its "spinning" for about 5
minutes and indicates: "Your file system performace can be improved. It is
recommended that you defragment now."

When I click on "Defragment now..." it spins again for about 5 minutes and
repeats the same message. This repeats each time.

Any advice?
