Re: my defragmenter is broken

Delete the X's. You're reading far to much into the post.

I know sufficient to know you Disable and not DELETE if you are using
msconfig as a diagnostic tool!

Good grief how is it in any way destructive by simply blocking the
loading of programs? Your diagnostic procedures obviously vary from
mine but to say mine are destructive leaves me with the impression
you don't know much about XP.

Hardly diagnostic when you say "Delete all items in startup." Far
simpler to run Disk Defragmenter in Safe Mode to achieve the same
objective and not be so destructive. In any event there are far
better ways to disable items in Start if you need to.

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.
