Defragmentation WayneT 6/5/2007 1:31:02 PM I get an error message saying some file did not defrag. The message identifies the doc files doesn't say why or how to fix or over ride it....wt

Re: Defragmentation "Tony Sperling" <tony.sperling[ at ]dbREMOVEmail.dk> 6/5/2007 2:18:51 PM It could be meaningless, one fragmented file wouldn't normally affect anything unless it's huge and you work on it all the time. Normally, you run defraggers by specifying a disk to work on, if you run defrag by specifically naming files, it could be locked or hidden. Also, you could be short of memory. If you're worried, find out what file it is and what it is supposed to be doing. Then try and access it and see if it behaves normally. What OS is this? And what Defragger? Tony. . .

Re: Defragmentation Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 6/5/2007 3:10:25 PM What defragger is being used? It may be a system file that cannot be defraaged while the system is operational.

Re: Defragmentation "Tony Sperling" <tony.sperling[ at ]dbREMOVEmail.dk> 6/5/2007 3:26:04 PM That was my first thought too, but then, it wouldn't normally complain about it, since it is a built-in limitation/feature? Some hard-core freeware utilities might try and have a go at it if you name it, though. Perhaps! Tony. . .

Re: Defragmentation "Tony Sperling" <tony.sperling[ at ]dbREMOVEmail.dk> 6/7/2007 11:45:04 PM Now there's an idea - I am dual booting and often defrag from the 'other' OS out of habit more than anything else - are you saying that System Files in this case will defrag? Is this good or bad, do you think? I haven't noticed any issue but it seems not to burden the system so much. You would need to do some serious benchmarking to prove the difference, but it seems faster, which is nice even if it's a trick of the brain. Tony. . .
