Hi, anyone can helps me about this problem i facing when i to a

Defragmentation for my hard disk. Please helps...thanks.. the message as

below:

 

 

Defragmentation is complete for: (C:)

 

Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.

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

 

The Report:

 

Volume (C:)

Volume size = 55.88 GB

Cluster size = 4 KB

Used space = 6.98 GB

Free space = 48.90 GB

Percent free space = 87 %

 

Volume fragmentation

Total fragmentation = 0 %

File fragmentation = 0 %

Free space fragmentation = 0 %

 

File fragmentation

Total files = 35,145

Average file size = 263 KB

Total fragmented files = 1

Total excess fragments = 112

Average fragments per file = 1.00

 

Pagefile fragmentation

Pagefile size = 720 MB

Total fragments = 1

 

Folder fragmentation

Total folders = 3,164

Fragmented folders = 1

Excess folder fragments = 0

 

Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation

Total MFT size = 38 MB

MFT record count = 38,443

Percent MFT in use = 99 %

Total MFT fragments = 2

Hi...

Try some tips from the following:

"Some Files Could Not Be Defragmented..."

Fred, I am a plus subscriber and love your articles. I have a question

for you. I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop. Whenever I run the

defragmenter at the end it says "some files on this volume could not be

defragmented. Please check the defragmentation report for the list of

the files". I check the report but it is always blank. Any help would be

appreciated. Thanks, Bob

 

Could be any of several things. Defrag needs some free space to

maneuver, for example; typically, it needs about 15% of the total drive

capacity to be open, so files can be shuffled around during the

defragmentation. If your drive is very full, you may not be able to

defrag it. If this is the case, try deleting some files, moving files to

another partition or drive or to backup, etc; and run a thorough

cleanup: http://langa.com/cleanup_bat.htm

 

Errors on the drive may also cause this. Try running Scandisk or Chkdsk,

and fix any problems that turn up.

 

In-use files may not be able to be defragged, either, because they're

locked and in use. You can minimize the number of such files by running

Defrag only in Safe Mode, or from the Recovery Console. If you're really

desperate to achieve near-100% defragmentation, you can run defrag

several times in a row; each pass may squeeze out a few more percent.

 

But in NT/2K/XP, some files just won't get worked on much at all because

they're always in use or protected in some way. You'll probably never

achieve 100% defragmentation. But that's OK; a low single-digit

percentage of fragmented files doesn't matter much, performance-wise;

you could beat your brains out trying to get everything perfect, and not

see any meaningful performance improvement when you're done.

 

So, if you defrag and end up with a few percent of files left

fragmented, don't worry about it. Just defrag regularly--- every week or

so is usually fine--- and you'll be OK.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message

separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so

just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup

doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for

those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they

see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only

once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's

time, and gets you poorer help than you should get.

 

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please

do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

 

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across

multiple newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
