Defrag stops at 20%
I start my computer in Safe Mode and then run Defrag but after about two
hours it stops at the 20% point. The program is not locked up as I can select Stop and it will terminate normally. Is there a way to find out why it is stopping. It makes me nervous stopping Defrag when it has not completed its job. I worry that it could munge the files system up. I ran error check and everything was ok but I still worry about running Defrag when it doesn't complete its job. -- Rusty Shackleford 'What ever happens, happens necessarily' Remove NOSPAM from E-mail address to reply. |

Mine takes sometimes around 4 hours, or more. Getting stuck is not necessarily a problem. Could be it is working on just one very huge file so obviously the count won't increase since it is based on the fragment count. Could be it is working on defragging the free space to make room enough for a huge fragment from a large file. Start it before going to bed and then check on it when you wake up (many hours later). -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.
