Running Win XP SP2. All attempts to run defrag fail. All that happens when I
initiate a defrag is that a DOS-like window appears for a split second and disappears. Have attempted process aafter disabling my McAfee AV software and still get same problem. |

Defrag issues
Thanks for advice.
Tried the CMD route as GUI will not work. In Task Manager I have two apps running that appear to be defrag related: DEFRAG.EXE and DFRGNTFS.EXE. CMD screen shows Drive info (ie fragmentation info), but no indication of progress of process. Should there be some indication of progress? "Wesley Vogel" wrote: Open a command prompt first...
