Defrag damage a file or its folder that had been open and saving the changes?

BACKGROUND

("Work") file, including the file ("History.xls") I opened its doors and mounting and don't save while Disk Defragmenter is running in the background 'disappeared' AFTER that I closed on History.xls and then Defragmenter.

COMMENTS:

After the cancellation of defragmentation:

  • All other folders seem to be present. However, it took between 15-30 seconds for them to open the 'first' time.
  • Defrag never stopped, didn't report it was over, or what "improvements", he did. I had to "Cancel".
  • Files was between 15 and 30 seconds to open "Preview".
  • The 'Work' folder was still present in the directory tree display. When I clicked it, however, he was nowhere to be found. Could not display it in the command line or from the administrator command prompt. Just a folder with some of my most valuable files - gone!
  • Defrag has run longer than 24 hours because: 1) the instructions says it could take several hours and 2) he has spent most of the time 'analysis' 3) all other options are grayed out and 4) 'You can still use your computer while the defragmentation process'... Finally, I had enough.
  • To the best of my knowledge, I did not remove the file still less his file.
  • The file or the folder are in the trash.
  • The computer had worked perfectly until I ran Defrag (now its response slow BUT WORSE I get back is no longer a very valuable file).

Disk capacity HARD and utilization (GB):

  • C:\ = 95.07/239.2 = 39.74%
  • = 12.32/40.02 = 30.78% F:\
  • (two NTFS file systems)

HARDWARE/OS

  • Dell Inspiron 530 (3 years)
  • MICROPROCESSOR *: Intel processor Core 2 Duo E8300 (2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) and 6 MB of cache
  • RAM: Memory: 3 GB DDR2 - SDRAM (PC2-6400/800 MHz)
  • BIOS version: 1.0.15
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Version 6.0 (build 6002; Service Pack 2)

Thank you.

Hello

Defrag will not damage any file or folder.

Fragmentation makes your hard drive to do extra work that can slow down your computer. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data so can work more effectively your hard drive.

  • I used to be able to see all the cookies that had been installed, and now I can't.

    I am irritated beyond belief. Why should you change a good thing and make stupid?
    In the part of privacy options, I used to be able to see ALL the cookies that have been installed in a window, and I could choose those to whom I want to delete. I guess it was just too much control to give to us, if you had to remove this feature, right?
    I would go back to a previous version of Firefox. I'm sick and tired of your stupid updates that screw things for everyone.
    How can I revert to a previous version?

    • IF you use the parameter "Remember history" (as described in this article-> story to remember), click Delete the Cookies to view all cookies
    • IF you use the parameter "use custom settings for history" (as described in this article-> use the custom settings for history), click View the Cookies to view all cookies

  • Delay of the dialog 'Copy the file' when you drag a file to a folder that already contains.

    Delay of the dialog 'Copy the file' when you drag a file to a folder that already contains.  The dialog box only appears when that I disconnect.  In fact this problem can seriously mislead the user. The file has been copied to or not? This is a serious shortcoming of the operating system.
    A similarly delayed dialog box is to join files on a send to the recipient of the message.

    What is the cause of the delay? Dialog boxes are not under other windows - they break on screen as I log out.

    When I drag AGAIN the same file in the same folder, then I get a message that "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.  (No doubt the program who was trying to copy in the first attempt and waits for a response to the dialog box may not show me!)

    Lorien, thanks for your response.
    A lot of time and effort was exercised in an attempt to find out WHY. I wanted to not just fix the symptoms. It concerned me greatly as a basic function of the operating system does not work. He was not fit for purpose. In the end I found that a third-party application compromised of WINDOWS VISTA 32-bit operating system. If an operating system can not reliably inform the user that an operation is successful or not, it is worthless. In the case above, I didn't move the files was a success (no response required) or the delayed response until I signed.

    In addition to the original problem, there was the following problem: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/24068518-31e0-4b23-823b-d54882792301 where "send to..." 'Recipient' disable the context menu in Explorer for JPG does not or not broken.

    Finally, I figured out the following error had something to do with my problems:

    Description:

    Arriving in my solution, I was inspired by the following articles http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2006/08/31/453100.aspx     http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2006/11/27/532465.aspx
    So I downloaded the MS debug tools and confirmed my suspicion of dllhost.dll using REGEDIT to set debugging on that.
    To cut a long story short, it's DivX 7.2 which caused me grief.  In particular, the file DivXDecH264.ax 'has an access violation - code C0000005 (first chance).  It has been autonomous in DivX Plus DirectShow Filters.     Thus, when it has been deleted (starting other Articles to original install DivX) through Control Panel of configuration/programs and features my system worked perfectly well.

    I know SFA on the architecture of Windows but why was this DivX file loading and cause an access violation whenever I used the windows Explorer?  How an operating system may fail in a basic function of by a third party issue?  There are some newspaper where this access violation was recorded?  It was only possible to identify it in debugging?

    Hello

    1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.
    2. In the context menu, select properties and then in the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.

    3. In the name list box, select the user, contact, computer, or group to which you want to display permissions. If the permissions are grayed out, this means that the permissions are inherited from a parent object.

    Can I convert an entire folder at a time or I need to convert and save each file in this folder one at a time and then download on my cloud to see my phone as well?

    Hi kezleyp1982,

    You can convert files of different format in a folder as PDF by choosing "file > create > create multiple files"

    Once converted to PDF format, you can connect to "http://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials and then download all the files to Document cloud at a time (press Ctrl + A to select).

    Hope that helps.

    Kind regards

  • My expansion drive has been disconnected, and all the files that have been renamed on Premier Pro are missing!  Help!

    I use Adobe first Pro CS5.  I'm working on a project for a month and this morning, I realized that there is a problem with it.  To make sure that I don't junk my computer upwards, I have always to leave the files I'm working with my expansion drive and I work from there.  I have autosave all the time, etc, but apparently, at some recent point, my disk expansion has been disconnected, and Premiere Pro tells me that all my files are offline.  My biggest problem is that I've renamed all my video files in Premiere Pro, but I not rename them on my drive for expansion.  Thus, for them find would probably take me as long, if not more, of my original work.  Is it possible in the world that I can record these files and the long hours that I've already spent editing this video?  If you have an idea regarding what I can do, I would be eternally grateful.   Note: I work with AVCHD clips.

    Please, I beg you.  Whatever that is would be helpful at this stage.

    Make sure that Premiere Pro is closed, and reconnect the drive.  Everything should be good when you reopen the project.

    The exceptions are two.  Bill has raised the first.  The second is that if you have already saved the project with offline files.  Once you do that, you're done.

  • 09 pages start without opening any files that have been opened before

    I find that Pages and preview and more everything to always come on "refractory".

    I restart my Mac or that you leave the Pages 09 and when I run the application Pages 09 he recalled ten documents I had open and opens to them.

    It takes a lot of time.

    Can I start Pages without all the docs that have been opened, when he went haywire have revived?

    I just want to start with no docs.

    Thank you

    Tom

    It is always a good idea to save and close all open documents. Should hang the system, failed, or through power failure, open documents are at risk.

    In system preferences: General, select shut down windows when you exit an application. From the Apple menu, both the reboot... and stop... the dialogues have a checkbox that will again open windows when you log in. Make sure they are turned off.

    It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.
