Defrag doesn't work

After functioning properly since I got a new computer with 64-bit Vista
nearly a year ago, the defragmenter now does its "spinning" for about 5
minutes and indicates: "Your file system performace can be improved. It is
recommended that you defragment now."

When I click on "Defragment now..." it spins again for about 5 minutes and
repeats the same message. This repeats each time.

Any advice?

Thanks, Alex

How much free space is in the HHD ?

If you mean my hard drive C, it's got 391 GB free of 451 GB.

Hi Alex,

If your HDD ( H ard D isk D rive) is running perfectly, that doesn't mean
it's going to stay that way forever!

Check your hard disk for errors ...

Good luck

I think Alex's point was that you originally typed HHD, not HDD :-)

Thanks any way, and have you and the OP (and all) a Happy Thanksgiving Day

Hi to all, and hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

I did a disc check, which I do fairly regularly as routine maintenance, but
the results indicated no problems (as usual), but the defrag is still doing
the same thing as I initially described.

If this can't be fixed, are freeware third-party defraggers such as
Auslogics or Smart Defrag safe and effective alternatives ?

Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex,


This may fix things quite a bit. SFC \SCANNOW

It replaces corrupt files with intact ones.

Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop
responding

<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833>


I'm su�e someone else will help you if this suggestion doesn't help.

Let us know what hªppens.


Good luck
