Re: my defragmenter is broken

Is your hard disk formatted as FAT32 or NTFS. Select Start, Control
Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management to
find out.

If NTFS select, Start, Run, type "cmd" without quotes and hit Enter,
type "Chkdsk /f /r" without quotes and hit Enter. Answer Y to the
question which appears and exit.. You must restart the system before the
disk scan begins.

Analyze says I should defrag so I do and it gets to 13% compacting
and then says defrag complete. I check analyze and it still says i
should defrag. I've done this numerous times with no better results.

How can i fix disk defragmenter?

TIA


What percent free space do you have on your hard drive?
