Guest brothersamati Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Don't know what made me run disk cleanup. Before, my disk was beautifully unfragmented, with its 25% of space mainly in one block and hardly any fragmented files. After cleanup the disk was in about 1000 pieces and about 50% of my files were fragmented. Defrag reduced that to only about 30-40 times what I'd started with, but after repeated attempts at defragging I still have about 300 stripes. Chkdsk/f found some errors but I can't see what it did about them because the message flashes and disappears before I can read it.

Guest Gerry Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Re: disk cleanup & fragmentation It is likely that an allocation of 12% has been made to System Restore on your C partition which is over generous. I would reduce it to 700 mb. Right click your My Computer icon on the Desktop and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select Settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it reads 700 mb and exit. When you get to the Settings screen click on Apply and OK and exit. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System Restore point? Run Disk Defragmenter and post another copy of the report. -- Hope this helps.

Guest brothersamati Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Re: disk cleanup & fragmentation Three more defrags, with System Restore allocation reduced from 6% to 1%, produced a slight but noticeable reduction in the number of stripes but left the fragmented file(s) untouched. Was not able to remove any of the System Restore points - going to Disk Cleanup did not offer me "more options" nor did System Restore or anything else I could find. I take the point that the stripe diagram is not accurate but cannot help feeling that the change from about 7 stripes to something like 1000 must have been significant.

Guest Gerry Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: disk cleanup & fragmentation It has been successful with the exception of only one file -SibeliusGoldLib.nks. This is a large file which is in many fragments. I do not know why this is so as with 32% free space I would have expected it to at least relocate in fewer and larger fragments. Remaining suggestions. Copy to new location (directory) and delete original. Copy file back to original location and delete file in temporary location. Run Disk Defragment and observe for affect. If that does work try Contig on the file: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/contig.mspx -- Hope this helps.
