I've been installing a lot of stuff to get x32 and x64 going and now I'm
done, so this morning I thought I'd defrag my drives. I right-clicked on c-
properties - tools - defrag and it's different than XP/2000/etc - you can't
" analyze" to see the current status of the drive. I checked in XP and they
were badly fragmented so I rebooted into X64 vista to try defrag app. But
when I choose defrag of one drive, it does all of my drives ( all 7
partitions on 2 drives) without my asking/picking/selecting. That needs to
be fixed - give me a checkbox for each drive !
Well I started it and went out for the day and just returned (12 hrs later)
to find pc in sleep mode ( yeah I forget to turn off powersaving so went to
sleep after one hr). I hit the space bar- the PC turned on but I couldn't
get the monitor to "wake up " from sleep mode ( just yellow LED - wouldn't
go green). I waited a while - saw disk activity led on Pc blinking
occasionally . I tried CTRL_ALT_DEL - then S ( for shutdown) - nothing
happened after a few times, so I hit the reset button. ( try CTRL_ALT_DEL -
not same options now) Upon selecting x64 from boot menu, I got a " system
was not shutdown properly" message. I chose "Last known good". It came back
up fine, BUT: ( here's my questions / opinion - what's yours?)
1. How do I check the drive ( old " ANALYZE") to show me the current
fragmentation of the drive ?
2. Anyway to have it check just one drive - rather than the default being
all drives and maybe 6+ hours if badly fragmented etc ?
3. Why didn't my monitor " wake up ?" like PC did ?
4. How come when looking at event log there is no up/down arrow ? I went
there to view disk defrag times/drives .
5. My Event log for apps is full of "stuff" - if I try to go online to
decode the msgs - I get " help not found ( it GOEs there but no online help
for system event msgs ?) I tried to "Filter" , so I uncheck all but errors
and "OK" is greyed out - so how do I proceed? Making it too tough to do
simple things.
Event log is full of stuff like this:

SAYS AUDIT "SUCCESS" - IS THIS GOOD OR BAD ?
Being "Dropped" doesn't sound like it's a good thing .

Should it be 10 or 5000 ? Is higher better ? you get the idea - how can we
anaylze problems/ potential problems if our tools are in a foreign language
?

However when I click on it = bad webpage. Makes it tough to see how
anything in here helps me. Might as well NOT have an event log for now.
