Solve : Hard drive Won't Defrag completely? |
|
Answer» Quote from: rthompson80819 on September 25, 2010, 02:44:57 PM I've been using defraggler for a while and never had a PROBLEM. I'm wondering if it is getting so far then hitting a file that has a problem, like an INFECTION.I don't THINK "infection" files have some specific properly that differs enough for it not to be defragmentable. It's far more likely that actual disk errors (such as inconsistent directory entries) are the cause- either that, or one of Defragglers options is set so that it doesn't actually perform a full defragment. Quote Defraggler will list what files are not contiguous and maybe that will give you a clue. the Contig Tool can be useful for that as well. Although it is only available through the Command Prompt.

One should always check a disk for errors before performing a defrag, regardless of the tool. (although I imagine some of the more inclusive programs do this as well, defraggler no doubt is not one of those)Quote from: rooskie94 on September 25, 2010, 11:02:36 AM everytime i defrag it only gets a little bit. I use defraggler, and when i defrag it only get like 10%.. so my HDD is 40% frag, and when i defrag it drops down to 35%. so how can i get my whole HDD defragmentation Something that worked for me in similar situations was RUNNING a full malware scan prior to the defrag and a diskcleanup (probably obviouz things you have tried out, but in case you havent, give it a try). Not sure if the windows defragger can completely defrag (system files n file fragments larger than 64MB especially if you have less than 15% free space. I use a third party tool now. You can google for trial versions and try an alternative program if nothing else works.Quote from: rooskie94 on September 25, 2010, 09:37:39 PM does anyone know a good free software that i can use?? because nothing is really working...Have you run chkdisk, as advised? For a defrag program, I'll suggest Smart Defrag. This linked page has a video tutorial that explains some features of Smart Defrag. |
