• Is it possible to schedule automatic defragmentation?

  I want to configure my Windows XP to automatically do a defrag on every two weeks. I tell myself that I have two choices: find some software that will launch the defragment utility supplied with Windows, to find a defragmentation utility that has calendar built in?

  Hi Okieseeker,

  Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555098 Microsoft have very good documentation on schedule disk defragmentation.

  I double clicked it and it's the same as before.

• Hybrid disk defragmentation

  Hello

  I recently installed a Seagate hybrid SSHD drive on my IdeaPad Z570 and has learned that it is not good to defragment, usually as you lose SS cache and it causes wear. However, I also read that it is correct to do so if you turn off your NV Cache. But my computer had no function of gpedit, so I found a download which allow me to access it and went to the system and models of administration, but found no disk NV Cache and Smart Defrag analysis tells me that my drive is defragmented 4.4%, I wish I could defragment it.

  Does anyone have experience or knowledge on that to help advise, as I am just a user of basic computer just learn by internet trawling.

  Thank you.

  LenBlazer thanks for the reply.

  I understood now using Smart Defrag which, under my program from Iobit ASC, does not hide if accumulate on the part of the SSD drive that recently, I gritted my teeth and tried when I analyzed the disc and it is more than 6% defragemented. As long as I choose only Smart Defrag and optimizes not and do not use disk CSA optimize or automatic defragmentation, it's which were dismantled the storage of the cache. So if someone has the same quandry with a hybrid drive of my experience do not use disable Windows Defrag and use Smart Defrag but do not use anything that optimizes the drive because that's what the cache SSD and you lose the cache and a bit of time so he can build up again.

• Image of corrupted task of disk defragmentation

  When I try to defragment my hard drive a popup appears saying: "the task Image is corrupt or has been tampered with.  User_Feed_Synchronization-{93869917-6BA9-4AC4-AfOA-1FOB2672 A8FA}. "I went into the Task Scheduler Library to try to change the settings and the same popup upeared.  So I deleted the defragmentation task and put in a new defragmentation task account new parameters and the following window will appear: "an error has occurred for task defragment the hard drive."  Error message: user account restriction error.  Possible reasons are that blank passwords not allowed, or as a political restrictions has been applied. »

  I can't adjust the defragmentation to run if the user is logged in or not.  It keeps the setting because only when someone logs on and only at 01:24:12.  I can't change the time of execution.  Whenever I put new triggers for the task the first popup appears and everything remains the same.  The last execution in Scheduler bed '' never. ''

  I have run full scans computer virus/malware with Microsoft and Charter Security Suite, and they came up empty for the problems.

  I'm not very computer savy and don't know what I can do.  My best guess is that someone put a virus in my hard disk to mess with the defragmentation task, but nothing in the scans rises.

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you, community.

  It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool if you have corrupted files

  "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you save doing a reinstall full:

• Defragmentation stops when the display is off

  I recently used the Disk Defragmenter to defragment my hard drive.  After reviewing the forums I discovered that it does not work when the computer goes to sleep so I took care of the mode "Eve".  However, my computer is always programmed to turn off the display after 10 minutes.  As the defragmentation. can take several hours, I didn't leave the screen while he was doing his job.  However, when I returned to the computer during the process and reactive the display, he did not know if the defragmentation. given market or extended.  I would not have thought that the display off should interrupt the defragmentation. but I would appreciate clarification on this point.

  Hello

  If the screen saver is on, Defrag will still work in the background.

  There is no need to do what you do.

  I think you should read this about Defrag in Vista and you don't have to do it manually.

• How to say progress during defragmentation

  I can never tell how much progress made by the Defragmenter using this program.  The only indication I get is the rotation of wheel bit but it seems never to perform the defragmentation.  On my old Windows program, there is an option to view the defrag process if you at least knew that it worked.  This wheel turns only and never stops... I even let run all night and we never finished the process.  Is there a way to see/check what happens when to defragment program is on?  Any help will be appreciated.  The program has been running for more than 4 hours tonight and still has not stopped.

  Thank you

• Vista Defrag does not work continues by saying defragmentation will improve performance after hours of defragmentation

  I ran Defrag Vista several times (each for hours) and always says that "defragment your drive hard drive will improve the performance.

  It seems that he never really ran that whole defragmentation at all! It is perhaps also the reason why Defrag Vista does not display progress with graphical display. It does not work.

  Who out there can help find a Defrag Vista work?

• When you use your hard disk defragmentation process starts but seems stuck and won't end evn after several hours. How I can remidy this?

  When you use "Defragment your hard drive" the process starts but seems stuck and won't end evn after several hours.  How I can remidy this? I was already able to defragment successfully.

  Hello

  How do you know that never, it ends when there is no GUI on Vista for Defrag?

  in vista, the defragmentation process works silently in the background

  Unfortunately in vista it does not provide a GUI to show progress as it did in xp

  to do this, you'll need 3rd party defrag programs

• Defragmentation of hard disks

  What the heck is wrong with you people? Why do you make unnecessary changes only complicate what should be a very simple procedure.

  I click on a disk, I want to defragment.

  I recently removed a large amount of files and I want to defragment THIS drive.

  If I still had XP that wouldn't be a problem. I could just do it.

  But Vista is moving forward and analysis all my disks even if I don't want to do that. We are thus wasting valuable time.

  I want my defragmentation with one click (no analysis of ANY player unless I choose) back.

  And it would be nice to have this cool graphic back defrag too.

  "What the devil is wrong with you people?"
