Disk Defrag Quits after starting

[Guest Starship]

When I run defrag in windows XP SP3 i quits after a few sec with this

message:

Some files on this volime could not be defragmented.

Please check the defragmentaion report for the list of these files.

 

There is no list of fils. here a copy of report:

 

Volume SMX (C:)

Volume size = 114 GB

Cluster size = 4 KB

Used space = 66.86 GB

Free space = 47.63 GB

Percent free space = 41 %

 

Volume fragmentation

Total fragmentation = 0 %

File fragmentation = 0 %

Free space fragmentation = 0 %

 

File fragmentation

Total files = 401,804

Average file size = 180 KB

Total fragmented files = 1

Total excess fragments = 309

Average fragments per file = 1.00

 

Pagefile fragmentation

Pagefile size = 1.50 GB

Total fragments = 1

 

Folder fragmentation

Total folders = 8,285

Fragmented folders = 1

Excess folder fragments = 0

 

Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation

Total MFT size = 413 MB

MFT record count = 410,543

Percent MFT in use = 96 %

Total MFT fragments = 2

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fragments File Size Files that cannot be defragmented

None

 

 

I tried this in safe mode also & still quits with same message. This is

normal or another one of Microsoft's famous bugs?

 

Thanks

Re: Disk Defrag Quits after starting

 

there are some system files

that microsoft won't defrag,

like your master file table

(MFT) and i think the page

file won't be defragged as well.

 

there is a nifty utility called

pagedefrag from microsoft.com

and with it you can defrag

the pagefile and the registry

upon each bootup.

 

------------------

 

another suggestion i have

is to split your harddrive in

half and move all your personal

files off the system drive © and

onto the new partitions (d).

 

this will be more helpful with

managing your disk and file

systems.
