ML I just dealt with the same problem. Never found what made it do that. After you run the defrag you get the pop up saying defrag finished not all files could be defragged. There are 2 boxes below the that message, one say repot the other close. Click on report. This will bring up another box with 2 white rectangles in it. The top is info on what it did, the lower box should tell you what files could not be defragged. BTW I ended up doing a reformat to correct the problem, Hope you have better luck Steve -------------- Original message -------------- From: "=*^*=ML=*^*=" <my2punkin@xxxxxxxxxxx> > haave checked for errors several times..always do first. never seems to make > any difference. this hasn't been going on for very long.
