Just a suggestion, you might do a uninstall/re-install of Norton and see if that resolves the problem. It could be a glitch in Norton itself. When Norton reports the clusters what does Windows say? Also does the drive support Smart Test? If so you might want to do a test on the drive. This could be anything from glitched software to early signs that the drive is having problems. zat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cajun" <cajun@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 8:08 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Help! Can't Defrag! > Zat, my hard drive is an IBM Deskstar 13.4GB, and I have 4GB free. I downloaded and installed the Drive Fitness Test, ran both the quick test and the thorough test, and it found no errors. I tried to run Norton's SpeedDisk again, but it found the 9 lost clusters again, would not fix them, and would not run SpeedDisk because of them. Then I ran Windows ScanDisk. It ran for a long time. Then I ran Norton's SpeedDisk again and it defragged without forcing me to go to Disk Doctor to fix lost clusters. This happened last month also, so it will probably happen again. > dj To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
