I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report . Open Disk
Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it is more informative. -- Hope this helps.

I cannot see any obvious problem. If you ran Disk Defragmenter I would
expect to see no files listed in the Most Fragmented Files list. You will have one fragmented file the Master File Table. which will be in 2 fragments. This is normal. The Master File Table is never included in the Most Fragmented Files list, which tends to confuse. You are told not all files have been fragmented but none are listed. -- Hope this helps.

You may want to run the XP defragger, followed immediately by defraggler, to see which files are still fragmented. 3- I repeat point (1). Do not get obsessive about defragmentation. Doing it too often will do more harm (HDD wear) than good (0.n % improvement in speed).

"It will tell you exactly which files it was unable to defrag." The Microsoft Disk Defragmenter does that. You just need to read the whole report and realise that the MFT Table and Pagefile are never included in the Most Fragmented file list. "You may want to run the XP defragger, followed immediately by defraggler, to see which files are still fragmented. " Defraggler is a good tool but it also does not include the MFT Table in the list! It does provide a list of all other fragmented files before defragmenting. You can also defragment individual files. It does not always work -last night in Vista it baulked at defragmenting two files. One was a large System Restore point (IE8 update). -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ occam wrote: wrote: On Mon, 11 May 2009 23:42:27 +0100, "Gerry" wrote: I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report .

Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it is more informative. Volume (C Volume size = 229 GB Cluster size = 4 KB Used space = 9.65 GB Free space = 220 GB Percent free space = 95 % Volume fragmentation Total fragmentation = 0 % File fragmentation = 1 % Free space fragmentation = 0 % File fragmentation Total files = 54,635 Average file size = 226 KB Total fragmented files = 359 Total excess fragments = 730 Average fragments per file = 1.01 Pagefile fragmentation Pagefile size = 1.49 GB Total fragments = 1 Folder fragmentation Total folders = 5,194 Fragmented folders = 5 Excess folder fragments = 21 Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation Total MFT size = 59 MB MFT record count = 59,903 Percent MFT in use = 98 % Total MFT fragments = 2 Helmsman, this report looks normal - nothing to worry about. 1- Try and not be 'obsessive' about fragmentation. The moment you defrag, re-fragmentation already restarts. 2 - A more user-friendly defragger which actually allows you to see (and defrag) individual files is 'defraggler.exe' (get it he http://www.defraggler.com/ -- it is freeware) It will tell you exactly which files it was unable to defrag. You may want to run the XP defragger, followed immediately by defraggler, to see which files are still fragmented. 3- I repeat point (1). Do not get obsessive about defragmentation. Doing it too often will do more harm (HDD wear) than good (0.n % improvement in speed).
