Defrag reboots PC

[Guest JDJ]

I recently formatted my notebook's hard drive and reinstalled XP Pro. After

downloading all updates, I ran defrag. It runs through the analysis. After

it compacts some files, it tries to move a file and reboots the notebook.

I've looked at all of the self-help and emailed Microsoft. They gave me

links to the self-help I'd already checked and to this discussion group. Any

ideas?

Do you defrag in Save Mode?

 

I would use Save Mode with Command Prompt and enter dfrg.msc at the

prompt and start defragging.
