Really has me curious as to why.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Andrew Dulaney Jr." <rdulaneyjr@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 2:38 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: defrag Have you considered a third party defragmenter - my opinion of M$'s defragger is not well. Personally I use Perfect Disk. Diskeeper has a free version called Diskkeeper lite the auto functions have been "turned off" they have a decent product (again my opine). JKdefrag has a free defrag too however (in my opinion) it is not any better than M$'s but it may assist you in your problem. You might wanna check you HDD for errors as well. ----- Original Message ---- From: =*^*=ML=*^*= <my2punkin@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 2:04:41 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: defrag I did it in safe mode and had the same problem...I used to have the same problem when I scanned disk but I turned off everything running in systray and scan went thru fine.. The hard drive is 7/8 empty...has a LONG way to go to be even 1/4 full. I don't know what else to turn off? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cris" <cris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 1:49 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: defrag how much free space is on your hard drive? if you don't have enough, it can stop. Also helps to defrag in safe mode while nothing is running in the background. Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: =*^*=ML=*^*= To: PCTechTalk Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 4:06 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- defrag Why is it that a computer refuses to go beyond a certin point in defrag?? Mine stops at 27% and says not all the computer files could be defraged. Never had that happen before..I turned off everything that could use up something but I still get this notice. It needs to defrag but won't. spt. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo!
