Re: my defragmenter is broken

This is a diagnostic technique. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Would you care to post your concerns?

Not good advice. Rather like chopping off your hand to remove a splinter
in your finger.

Try using msconfig. Delete all items in startup. Reboot and run
defrag. This will have the effect of not loading any program which
can interrupt defrag. While defrag is running or before starting you
may want to use task manager to see what may be happening.

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.



I have run scan disk on restart already. It's disk defragmenter that
doesn't work. See first post.
