• Unable to use the Disk Defragmenter tool in Windows XP

  Original title: I use windows xp why used my computer open the disk defragmentation

  If I try to open the disk defrag it says the file isint there.

  Hi Gabrella,

  I'm glad to know that you've posted queries in Microsoft communities.

  According to the description, it looks like you aren't able to open the disk defragmentation in Windows XP.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

  Method 1:

  Try the fixit and the steps mentioned in this link and check.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314848

  Method 2:

  There are several reasons why the built-in defragmentation may not work correctly:

  Step 1. The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  Step 2.

  The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  Step 3. There may be malware on the PC
  Solution - run the Antivirus and Antispyware scans (can take a long time if ever made. Be patient):

  Viruses can cause these problems. Scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which allows to get rid of viruses, spyware and software malware.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expire after 10 days from the date of installation.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Step 4. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

  Step 5. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with it in standard mode and stalking the interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Win 7 disable the ability to run the built defragmentation tool in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

  Step 6. Disk Defragmenter is no longer on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

  There are several ways to re - install the built-in defragmentation tool

  A:
  a. open the "Start" menu.and click run.
  b. type '% Windir%\Inf'

  c. in the window that opens, find the file named «dfrg.inf»
  d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

  B:
  a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
  b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
  3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

  C:
  a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
  b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
  c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing files to Defrag.

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue. For any help about Windows, you can still post on the Microsoft Community.

• My XP desktop seems to have thrown my 'system tools' function and I want to use the disk cleanup and defragmentation... How to get back the system tools?

  My computer is as I said above a desk with the microsoft XP program and is a little less than five years.  It has been slow and it dawned on me that I hadn't used the disk cleanup or some defrag for a while, but I clicked on start, all programs, accessories, System Tools was is no longer.  I have not been able to access the disk cleanup or defragment option and hope that out there, can someone advise me how to get this feature.

  You can run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter disk since the start > run box by typing the following

  Cleanmgr
  Dfrg.msc

  You can restore all of the 'Accessories' group (including system tools) by following the directions here--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

  Or you could just create shortcuts to

  C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc
  and
  %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

  Note that % SystemRoot % is the directory where Windows.  You can use this form or explicit as in the example for the shortcut from the Defrag.

• Re: Can I use the other Satellite U400 series recovery disk

  I have Toshiba Satellite U400 121. My recovery disk does not work may be due the scratches that I see in it. I took the laptop to the Toshiba Center service and I got a negative support of them. They said, they can't put the Windows Vista because the recovery disk is not there, and they have put Windows XP inside and handed to me.
  later I got to know that Windows Xp is not Geninue one. :|

  I can still see one of the Partition 'D:' with folder HDDRecovery inside.

  So can I use Recovery Disk of all PC model Toshiba laptop other than the Toshiba Satellite U400 121 recovery disk.

  In fact, I tried with the other model recovery disk, that at boot with this disk, Recovery Wizard starts up, but since I'm not sure about this one I stopped there and brought out.

  Please one of you let me know if you have valuable contributions on this.

  suggestions are welcome!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I don't know Mr. which series Satellite U400-121, it is, but you must use the recovery disc designed specifically for this series of laptop!

  Another recovery disc cannot be used because the drivers and tools that have been implemented in the image of Toshiba are not designed for this series of laptop!

  By the way; You can order the CD from recovery from here:

• Can I use the Satellite A215 for Satellite L305-s5921 recovery disk

  My laptop crashed (series Toshiba L305-s5921).
  I do not have the restore disks, but I have the recovery disc for my Toshiba A215 series.

  Can I pick up my laptop with this drive.

  No!

  You cannot use the recovery disc designed for A215 because the A215 is model laptop simply because various who needs different drivers as the L305!

  On the recovery disk image contains the operating system, tools and drivers or if you must use the disk recovery different evil drivers would be installed on the L305 and this can lead to other disorders.

• I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS?

  I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's

  an old computer, but it works very well.  I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But

  in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade.  Thanks John

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

• Where can I download the disk recovery Wizard

  I have a Macbook Air with os x 10.9 on it and wanted to make a bootable recovery disk. Following the instruction on the Apple support site, I went to the Apple Store and a disk recovery Wizard search gave no results.

  I have the recovery partition as an option on the hard disk, but there is no such use on the machine, or the Apple Store offers a download.

  Maybe I can just use the unix 'dd' command - that would be sufficient unless there is a quirk of Mac it will mess up.

  Thank you
