I'm using Windows XP Media Center 2004, and I have not been able to
defrag my hard drive for about 3 months. I can disk clean, but when I open the defrag program, highlight the drive, and press analyse or defrag, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to go to help and support and put in the query box "defrag". This should bring up the defrag program info and let you open it completely and should let you defrag your hard drive with no problem. You might Google defrag programs and see if there are any free trial or free programs available. Install and run. Good luck and regards,

Maybe see if there's any useful information on the failure in any of the logs in Event Viewer (Start Run eventvwr.msc)

I've read that a certain amount of free disk space is necessary to run defrag.

Why would I want to do that? My Disk Defragmenter works fine. If I had a problem I would resolve the problem.

Sorry Gerry, I replied to yours instead of Jyeshta. This should have been a reply to Jyeshta. "Gerry" wrote in message ... Why would I want to do that? My Disk Defragmenter works fine.
