DFRG BootOptimizeFunction Error

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

Hi,

Hope this is posted in a relevant location.

I recently found a reference to the Boot Defragmentation process (that I had
no idea existed) but looked at my registry entry to check was turned on as
boot up was becoming a little slow. I found that I had it turned on:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimiseFunction\Enable = Y

However I also noticed that OptimizeComplete was set to "No" and
OptimizeError was set to "Insufficient free space".
I am assuming this means that the optimize process failed ( and has probably
been doing so for a while).
I cannot find anything useful on this subject on the web or at ms.com. I
have run a normal defrag recently and have 9.7 Gig of free space on the boot
drive so it cant be a straight forward space problem, and the logs show no
obvious errors at boot time

Can anybody enlighten me as to how I can trace and fix what is wrong here?
