After thedefrag i get this message

"Some files on this volume could not be defragmented. check the
report"

the report shows nothing. tere are no files the list is empty-blank.

I also use o&o defrag. With this no problems or messages. But the disk
error feature finds errors.
I made a boot cd with bartpe and I used chkdsk with /f and /r. No
problems on report.

I have 2 primary partitions C,D. On C there are windows and other
software installed. On D only data.
THE problems exist on C.
I do not have any real problem using windows or other software but
this is very strange.
 
XP cant defrag files that are in use when defrag runs,namely the page
file.You need to set C: with no page file in system properties,restart com-
puter,back in xp,defrag,reset C: as was with page file in properties,then
restart computer.
 
MFT table, swap file and some others.

The amount of free space is very important when running Disk
Defragmenter. A
minimum of 15% is required but sometimes 20% is desirable if the drive /
partition
contains one or more large files. You can run Disk Defragmenter a second
and third
time if files are still fragmented after the first run. You can put
files more prone to
fragment in their own partitions.

If you use Outlook Express regularly compacting Outlook Express before
running
Disk Defragmenter is helpful.

Disk Defragmenter provides a "Most fragmented files" list. When a
fragmented file is
larger than the largest pocket of free space available then the files is
not fragmented.
Running Disk Defragmenter a second or third time does move files around
and can
reduce / eliminate the contents of the "Most fragmented files" list. The
more free
space on the drive / partition, the more likely it is that all fragments
will be
eliminated.

Free space cannot be defragmented with the Windows XP Disk Defragmenter.
Neither can your pagefile cannot be defragmented because the file is in
use whilst
Disk Defragmenter is running. You can purchase other Defragmenting
Utilities e.g.
Perfect Disk, which will defragment your pagefile and free space.
Another option is to
place your pagefile in it's own partition. A pagefile partition is best
located as the first
partition on a second hard drive. You should leave a small page file at
the original
location.

Side comment for this thread: Recommend sticking with one defrag tool. How
files are arranged on the hard drive can differ from one tool to the next.
In other words, Program B often ends up "undoing" the organization
performed by Program A.
