Cannot defragment Windows 7. Stall at 48%

Impossible to defragment windows 7. Door past 48% on both analyz and defrag and stops. He will be sitting there for 15-20 minutes and nothing to do. About 70% of free space on the disk, so it is not loaded up. This all happened after the upgrade to windows 7 from Vista. It's the fourth tha PC that I did and the only one who is having this type of problem. Executed analyz system but have no system error. Have tried to run defrag manually, but does the same thing.

Hey Big D 59,.

I recommend cleaning disc. Follow the steps listed in the link below to perform Disk Clean up: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanup

Run the SFC (System File Checker) on the computer scan to fix system errors to the file on the computer.
To run a SFC scan, follow these steps:
Open an elevated command prompt. To do this,

i. click on Start ,

II. click on all programs ,

III. click Accessories , right-click command prompt ,

IV. and then click on run as administrator.

v. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow or continue.

VI. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow and press to enter. Once the scan is complete, restart the computer so that the changes take effect

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    Hello

    Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

    To be honest, Windows 10 is compatible with your Mac, but Apple does not release from Windows 10 drivers for it. There are various guides on the Internet to install the drivers for Boot Camp Windows 10 even if your Mac is not supported, but follow them at your own risk (don't forget that you won't receive help to make).

    However, you are free to run Windows 10 on a virtual machine. To do this, you can use Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox, but remember that a virtual machine will give you less performance than Windows natively on your iMac. Read-> Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:

    Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
    2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "repair your computer".
    If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

    Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

    As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

    It offers the possibility of:

    I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

    Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

    I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

    For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

    The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
    No problem at all.

  • Cannot run Windows 7 SP1 on big HDD (1 TB)

    Hello

    I just realized about this very recent which is apparently now closed:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=275105

    I had same problem with a Toshiba 1 TB drive - I lost on that day and tried at least 10 Windows 7 installs with various behaviours/settings/partitions and still the same result. Cannot run Windows Update.

    I also tried to install Windows 7 SP1 from a DVD and have failed with a catastrophic mistake. I also tried to reformat the disk, the WIndows repair tool (ha!) update and installation when you're standing on my head while reciting the works of Shakespear.

    I gave up in the end and decided to NOT use it as a system disk at all. Instead, I installed Windows 7 on a smaller drive and uses the 1 TB and successfully as a secondary on the same PC drive with a single partition of 1 TB.

    I'm likely to have problems - maybe when the player is more complete and if I might be wise to split into 2 or more partitions?

    I just bought the drive so I can send it if it's going to be a waste of time.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.

    what you need to do are:

    1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)

    2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB

    3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)

    4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.

    5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.

    6. then will show all disks in your system.

    7. continue with the installation process.

    hope this helps.

  • Laptop cannot load Windows 7

    After attempting to clear the password at startup in the BIOS I was going into a more serious problem. Whenever I try to turn on my laptop it appears a black screen saying: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardwqare or software change might be the cause. "And there are two options, repair and start Windows normally. So I chose the repair, but it just goes to another black screen saying "Windows was able to start" and has instructions on how to "fix" the problem. At the bottom it says "status: 0 x 0000225 Info: the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. Also, when I pres "Start Windows normally" the Windows 7 Logo flashes and then after a second, it allows just the black screen, I described above.

    Here's what I think has caused:
    When I was trying to get into the BIOS, I entered another Menu by pressing F10. It is the recovery of the system, according to me. Then he said something on three partitions. I used to have three partitions, a Local, recovering HP and one for my records. But then I got rid of the partition for recording and has developed at a Local level. So, I am confused on why he said there were three partitions. The system recovery may have done something for the operating system. When I press F8 and go into options it also leads to the black screen, especially the Safe Mode.

    Thank you!
    I need to fix this ASAP, and I am not system restore I have many family Photos.
