can not defragment

I had my entire system recovered about 6 months ago, and since then I have not been able to degrag - here is the message I get: "You must have administrator privileges to defragment a volume."   Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Thx for the help.

Usually, it's just a matter of doing a right click on the "defragment now" and select "Run as Administrator"

If who disobeys, here is a routine that I've compiled over the years who managed to remedy the problems of Disk Defragmenter:

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

0. it is malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

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.

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).

3. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:

a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").

4. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:
a. close all running programs.
b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.
c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and
d. Select "start Task Manager".
e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

5. 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).

6. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with her and stalking interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

7 Disk Defragmenter may no longer be 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 Defragmenter:

A:
a. open the menu 'start '.
b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
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 Defragmenter files.

8. most of the problems will be solved by #6 above, but if not, and if your windows installation is otherwise working well, you should consider to download a free trial of a Defrag tool commercial rather than drastic measures to restore the functionality built-s. Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.

Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...

Here's a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:

http://Disk-Defragmenter-software-review.TopTenReviews.com/

The gold medal is the only defrag program that also prevents the fragmentation (see comment).

Why is it good to prevent fragmentation?

Basically, it significantly increases life expectancy of your hard drive (especially since you don't have to leave the system on all night - a much 'greener' agricultural practice), not to mention it also increases the performance of the system.

Find out what the review has to say on this.

Good luck to you!

PS: If still no go, repair may involve editing the registry or repair installation of windows and possibly re - install windows itself. These aren't simple solutions. If so, indicate if they can be provided.

  • 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.

  • Can not defragment lecteurC - needs 15% free space. What else can I remove or delete?

    I can't defragment my disk hard because I need 15% free space and have only 12%.  It is a Dell Dimension 2300, aged about 10 years.  I run Disk Cleanup and delete everything I can think and moved large files on an external hard drive. When I go into Add/Remove Programs, I see things that take a lot of space, but I don't know what I can delete.  Can I remove old Service Pack updates or together should they stay?  What can I do else? Help!

    Your report raises a number of problems. You will need to apply to each of them in turn.

    You have three user accounts created. Andrealynn, the Animal and JoJo. This means that when run you disk cleanup you must login as each user in turn and run Disk Cleanup to remove unwanted files. I have already mentioned cCleaner. This will clean all at once.

    I think you should look at unwanted desktop shortcuts.

    Outlook Express is another source of wasted space.

    You must empty the deleted items folder. Right click on the deleted items folder, and then select "empty folder deleted items.

    Records of your Inbox and sent items should be used to store messages for a short period. Large system files are prone to corruption, and then you lose messages. It is much safer to keep themessages in a created Local user folder.

    Your box of reception and sent items folders hold only messages waiting
    moving up to you to move. Have not all subfolders of the
    Inbox.In Outlook Express, move the cursor over the local folders and select
    File, folder, New and name your new folder AASent. Move all messages
    your items sent to the folder AASent folder. Repeat if you have
    created subfolders of the sent items folder.

    You can control the process of compaction by at a time that suits

    Also select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools disk
    Cleaning, more Options, System Restore and delete all the but later
    System restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Compaction could earn a good amount of disk space.

    A parameter that might be useless by default is that for temporary internet
    files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. The
    default allocation is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude offline
    you could bring this to 1% or 2% of the copies. In Internet Explorer, select

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Implement
    5%, which should be sufficient. In Windows Explorer, move the cursor
    on your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and
    Move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to avoid leaving to
    too full as if it is full and you delete a file by mistake, it will be
    bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with
    your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of

  • Can not defragment. I get a pop up message that I am low on memory and free disk space. I use the cleaning disc, but can not run Defragmenter. I have only 2 percent of free space, and it will not defragment.

    Hi JonWood62,
     
    Scan disk check on your computer and check if it helps fix the problem.
     
    Follow these steps to do the same thing:
     
    a. click on start-> RUN then type CMD and press ENTER.
    b. type the following command at the command prompt and press ENTER: chkdsk c: /f
     
    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  • How to remove the old hard drive files. Can not defragment

    Not enough space to defragment.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  • 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.

    Hello

    The system partition should not be défragmentée - it contains startup and recovery environment Windows 7 files and will always show as fragmented which is perfectly normal.  Also it has no effect on the performance of your operating system.

    On the problem of performance, try the following.

    In the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

    sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

    Then, click on the Start Menu, click computer, left click Local disk C once to highlight, right-click on Local C drive and select Properties.  Click the Tools tab and then click on the button "check the drive for errors.  In the next window make sure that both boxes are checked, then click Start.  Right plan the audit on the next reboot of the system, and then restart the laptop - this process can take several hours before the load in Windows.

    Hello johnwheldon,

    You have all other administrator accounts you log on?  If you want to restore your system back to factory settings, you will need to start in your boot options.  In general, each brand has different ways of access to this.  I suggest you look at your owner's manual or by visiting the manufacturer's website.

    Hello

    What version of the operating system you are using on the computer?

    You can leave the box reserved only system. System reserved partition contains startup files and is not used when Windows starts.  There is no need to Defrag. It will not degrade the performance of your system. Disk Manager does not allow you to delete this partition because they remove this partition could force the system to no boot. System reserve partition can also mean where the operating system is installed on. It may be the C: drive as well.
