Answer» hello, Try in safe mode, but which OS is this? Sorry WAT do you mean by OS? I'm using window XP, pent 4......hello, i tried booting up in safe mode but nothing shows up? ocean02 Quote i tried booting up in safe mode but nothing shows up? Did you get into safe mode ? dl65 How much time did you wait after you first was "Not responding" in the Task Manager. Sometimes it comes for few minutes.RUN through the cleanup procedure on the link at the bottom of this post and try defrag again. You may have a virus so use the on-line scanner and do a full scan. If you still have problems type - cmd - in the Run window and then type - chkdsk - at the prompt. You should have 4096 bytes per allocation unit, if formatted to NTFS, and there should be no bad clusters... E.G. You need 15% free-space on the drive to be able to run defrag. OS = Operating System. Whether it is Home or Pro you can also install Diskeeper 9 Professional (30-day evaluation) and use the Frag-Shield tool to see if your Master File Tables (MFTs) need adjusting. Quote How much time did you wait after you first was "Not responding" in the Task Manager. I think about half minute SEQUEL...was alternating between responding and not responding...Quote Run through the cleanup procedure on the link at the bottom of this post and try defrag again..... I will try the above....Hope it solves the problem Also which virus online scanner is the best to use? Try running MemTest86 as well, as a fault in the RAM could produce such an effect. Running the drive manufacturer's disk diagnostic diskette is also worthwhile to eliminate basic data corruption problems. Some IDE cables (round) can produce cross-talk data corruption.

C:\Documents and Settings\owmer>^P hello, i used ccleaner to clean the system....and defrag is working....but kinds slow...i will also CONDUCT a memory check thanks for all the help so far...very much appreciated i will also run safe mode to see if that boots up now hehe...80 wire IDE cables can help as 40 of the wires act as earthed screens between pairs of conductors designed to eliminate cross-talk when wires are too close together. The net effect is to prevent data corruption which can lead to many of these file problems. So if your IDE cables are 40 wire, or round, it is worthwhile changing them. On the defrag question, if the Master File Tables are too small then there will always be a problem with defrag. Diskeeper 9 Professional (not the home version)(15 day evaluation) comes packaged with frag-shield which will re-size the MFTs if this is needed. thanks...i will look into it |
