Defrag Problem under XP Prof
My daughter has been running a scheduled defrag weekly. All of a sudden it
stopped and when she tried to run it -Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Defrag- nothing happened. I visited over Memorial Day***THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS AND OUR FIGHTING MEN AND WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES!!***and tried Defrag via My Computer/Right Click Hard drive/Properties/Tools. I ran a Error Check first/ Defrag will not start and neither did Analyze.

Defrag Problem under XP Prof
Not sure what manually means. I tried it through Programs/Accessories/System
Tools/Defrag and through My Computer/HD right click/Properties/Tools/Defrag. Neither would start the process. Is there another way?

I believe that reference was being made, based on older OS where you could get a DOS (cmd) Prompt, then type in "defrag /c:" It has been a few years and I do not remenber the exactly worded command: defrag /c: /nosave defrag /c: /a In any case: the answer is----- no.
