When I go to my computer then right click on the usb external hard drive,
then select properties, select tools, then select defrag radio buton. I
recieve a message that Defragment not installed on this computer, however I
know that it is, please help.
Thanks
 
Reinstalling Disk Defragmenter will resolve the problem. Click Start, Run and type:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\dfrg.inf

Press ENTER
