DISC FRAGMENTATION

[CHARLES PARKER]

ALONG WITH THE OTHER DISC PROBLEM, I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH DISC FRAGMENTATION.

THERE WAS A GLITCH IN THE PUTER/DOWNLOADED CAMCORDER TAPE
SOMETIME AFTER I HAD GOTTEN IT INTO THE PUTER.

WHATEVER HAPPENED AFTER APPEARS IN THE FORM OF MUCHO, A
WHOLE LOT, RED MARKS IN THE DEFRAGMENTATION GRAPHS. IT
THEN BRINGS FORTH THE DIALOG BOX SAYING IT IS UNABLE TO
DEFRAGMENT AND THE RED MARKS REMAIN AND ARE STILL SCREWING
UP THE PUTER.

SUPPORT SAID START FROM SCRATCH WITH THE RESTORE DISCS,
THERE IS INSUFFICIENT MEMORY TO ALLOW THE PROGRAM TO
FUNCTION.SYSTEM RESTORE DOES NOTHING.

SHORT OF THAT, IS THERE ANY OTHER FIX AVAILABLE?

I have to say that I have never actually found a computer that was so
fragmented it stopped working.
Can you give details of what you are trying to restore from the tape, what
error messages the term 'glitch' refers to,
what type of system (CPU, RAM Hard disc size etc.) system you are running.
Minor details perhaps, but they will help you to get a more useful answer.
Oh, and don't forget - capslock to OFF.

How much space is left on the drive? Defragment needs 15% or more empty
space to use as temporary storage for the files it's re-arranging. Also try
doing it in Safe Mode.

IF I WAS LOOKING AT THE RIGHT FIGURE, I HAD 14%, SO I SEE
THAT CONFIRMS WHAT SUPPORT SAID.
I'LL TRY IT IN SAFE MODE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
THANKS.

If your free space is at 14% I'd suggest a good cleanup and get rid of files
and programs you don't need, put wanted but maybe seldom used files on CDR
or add a 2nd HDD. Also DON'T post all in capitals, it's considered shouting
and people may well ignore any requests for help from you.
