can not defragment my SYSTEM drive

Hello.

I have a g6 Pavilion. I have more than three quarters of my unused hard drive space. I scanned for virus etc using my Norton 360.

When I defragment my disk, HP support assistant allows me to defragment my C drive but not my SYSTEM drive, which is now 5% frag. This frag appeared last week.

Help, please.

I learned to check for disc defects, I must now do, but if there are no disk errors, what do I do next.

Thank you.
David

You do not touch the system drive - I guess that hereby you are referring to a reserved system or the hidden restore Partition or partition HP tools - any of what you touch/interfere with

  • Can not defragment my hard drive, stuck at 18%

    Original title: defragment my hard drive.

    Hello, I am running windows 7 pro and cannot defragment my hard drive. He had the same percentage on it seems like forever. 18%.

    my laptop is a few years old and was never Defrag. can someone help me please. Thank you

    Disk cleanup has little benefit unless the disc is more than 50% full.  It's rare.  The vast majority use somewhere around 25% of their disk capacity.  The value of defragmentation is improved performance and rarely has real value by returning more useful disk space.  If the drive is only complete, it is likely to be slow performance and may not even have enough space to perform the defragmentation.

    You want MORE not fewer restore points.  This gives you the best choice when things go wrong.  Here's what I recommend on this subject:

    Restore points

    The amount allocated to the point area by restoration by default in Windows 7 is 3% of the capacity of the disk.  In almost all cases, the computer uses but a small part of the available space.  This makes it very convenient to raise that 3% to say 8-10%.  This strategy will give a lot more restore points that will give you much more flexibility to recover a bad situation.

    To change the award, type create in the text box above the start planet.  Select create a restore point.  Click set up.  Move the slider to the right as you see fit.  Definition it to 50 gigabytes will have no effect if you have a 500 GB drive and use only about 100 or so, which is very typical.

  • FTP command does not when the current folder is not on the system drive

    I have the following problem when I activate FTP from the command prompt when the current folder is not on the system drive.

    I have a similar problem when you use a client FTP (ftprush)... It is installed on the D:\ and activation with the startup in D:\ folder reports 10038 (invalid socket handle)... It works fine when the startup folder is c: drive

  • On a start box appears and says can not find.ini:d\driver\chipset\asussetup_hotfix.ini

    My computer starts up fine but when the screen shows Office I get two error boxes that say can not find.ini:d\driver\chipset\asussetup_hotfix.ini

    It seems to be looking for drivers for Asus in my DVD player. All the drivers are installed and everything works. I only stop those two boxes from popping up. Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

  • Historical files can not find my USB drive.

    I think I should have created this problem myself by removing something that I wouldn't on 19/04/15. That said I think I should be able to have the file history find my USB hard drive. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the drive several times, tried different ports several times, I have set all permissions for all users and restarted after each step. I made sure the computer see the drive in devices under USB devices and readers. I formatted the drive and can drag and drop to and from the drive. I plugged in a flash drive and run the history file to it and worked until he ran out of memory. When I try to run the history file it looks like for the flash player and I said need to plug in, I choose select drive and it rises, "no usable disc found", I don't understand how historical files can not find my USB drive when all other aspects of Windows 8.1 can. I spent enough hours for the moment that in failure.

    Any help is appreciated,

    I found a solution. I renamed my backup disk using this link How to change drive in Windows 8 letters or 8.1 [Easy] and when the disc has been selected, I clicked on for "transfer existing files?

  • I can not defrag.my PC, it is constantly in a X box [Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled

    complete the question was in my title.thank you

    When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

    Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting verification or suggestions for changes to the registry to make changes is a waste of time - that is not the problem.

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

    If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

    If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

    You will be not also solve this problem by editing your registry database (pay attention technical support engineers and moderators of Forum)-is not the problem.

    Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

    If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

    If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit (this will usually do the trick).

    Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  • I can't defragment my hard drive, even though I cancelled the chkdsk command.

    Whenever I have try to defragment my HARD drive, I get the Error Message: Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on this volume (c). Please run Chkdsk/f. I ran, canceled regular for the C: drive, but I still get the same error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter. What else should I do to fix this?

    When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
     
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.
