Re: defrag do not work

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Very odd on the face of it.
- What defragger are you using? The one supplied with Win is not the best. On the other hand, it's cheapest.
- 75% free? Really free? No empty space locked by some app process?
- Is pagefile somewhere else?
- Assuming no messages in any logs...?
- Any funny behavior on that machine? Any special reason, like slowdown, that you decided to defrag?
- Have you run this defragger successfully before on this machine? This exact configuration?
- Is the drive light active (on or blinking) after you hit the 3% barrier?
- Are you able to take this machine offline for test/diagnose?
- Were you defragging while the server was active?

Win 2003 server, SQL server 2000 SP4, 2 CPUs, 20G ram.
C boot drive - 27G, ntfs 26 drives by 33g.
The SQL server is accessed by app on another box.
Please, let me know if you need more info.
