This may be too long an explanation for my problem, sorry, I'm just
trying to define it so as to get a solution....
On my HP PC, XP, ,2005, 250 GB, SP3
When my Word documents started hanging, coming up very slowly, I went
into Defrag and analyzed C, I have never seen it as fragmented: Lots of
red = fragmented, lots of white = free space intermingled, and in
blue=contiguous it is broken up with lots of white intermingled.
I can't think of anything that I did, or downloaded, that would have
caused the fragmentation. I scanned for viruses, negative.
In trying to defragment this C drive, it gets as far as compacting
files, and after about 5% defrag, a pop-up says "Defrag complete...Some
files on this volume could not be defragmented. Please check the
defragmentation report for the list of these files."
-------------------------------------
Defrag report reads in part:
Free Space = 51%
Total Frag:16% , File frag 32%, free space frag 0%
Total Fragmented files =3
Total Excess fragments = 12,479 Average fragments per file 1.05
Pagefile fragmentation
Pagefile size 1.40 GB
Fragmented folders = 1
Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation:
Total MFT size =282 MB
MFT record count 234,445, %MFT in use 81%
Total MFT fragments = 3
BUT no information on "Files that did not fragment"
----------------------------------------
Next, I ran chkdsk, and then ran defrag again with same results.
I read some more, went to command prompt and tried to force
defragmentation, but I'm having trouble even getting the correct command
to see if this I can Force a defrag.
I get as far as C:|WINDOWS\Help> automatically coming up, but what I
type in is not accepted. This is where I believe that someone might
help me, because once the command takes, it Might clear up the defrag
problem.
Given:
"Usage:
defrag <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
volume drive letter or mount point (d: or d:\vol\mountpoint)
-a Analyze only
-f Force defragmentation even if free space is low
-v Verbose output
-? Display this help text "
The very last line I put in,
C:\WINDOWS\Help> <d: Volume HP_PAVILION (C) [-f] [-v]
command prompt gave the response of: "Access is denied."
Previously I have put in the following, and mainly get 'The system
cannot find the file specified'
I have tried variously:
defrag <volume> HP_PAVILION (C)[f]
and <C>[-f] and was replied with 'The system cannot find the file
specified'
then I tried <C>[-f] which answered "The syntax of the command is
incorrect"
When I put in:defrag (d;C) [-f] [-v] [-?] I was given this clue:
"The volume identifier is not valid. The volume identifier must be a
valid local drive letter or mount point."
That's when I modified to:C:\WINDOWS\Help> <d: Volume HP_PAVILION (C)
[-f] [-v]
and was given the response of: "Access is denied."
Please help first with the correct command line.
I'll report back if I can or if I can't force a more complete defrag.
T.I.A.
