Guest Starship Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 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
Guest db.·.. > Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 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. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> "Starship" <please no@spam> wrote in message news:%23Qy8Dup4IHA.3828@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > 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.
