Problem with Disk Defragment?

Question

Hello to all,

when i am in Disk Defragment, and i press Analyse or Defragment, it does nothing... It does not freeze or anything similar... It just does nothing.

Anyone knows why? I am on an HP Compaq and run XP Professional

Thanks.

Answer 1

Can you run CHKDSK /R once and retry defragging/analysing?

There could be a file system problem and the defragmenter is unable to gather information about the files on the drive that is necessary for safe defragmentation.

So, from the command prompt, run

chkdsk disk_name /R

example: chkdsk C: /R

Hope this helps

Best regards
