Hello,

I'm running a defrag on a notebook with a 30GB capacity & 21GB free and
Windows XP Pro SP2 and it's been at 22% for two hours and it's stating
it's
moving file - REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE for a while now. When I check
Task
Mgr, it states defrag is still running and the CPU is running at 100%.
However, the HD light isn't blinking. Should I be more patient or is
there a
problem I should be aware of?

Thank you.

Stop the process, restart in safe mode, and then run defrag.
