Defrag Windows 7 system shows 5% fragmented

I have Windows Defragmenter run manually once a month and after that is done, I always get 0% fragmented.

However, I ran yesterday and I got this result:

C: 0% fragmented

D recovery: 0% fragmented

System: fragmented 5%

I would like to know why my system is fragmented by 5%. I use a Compaq laptop and had it for about a year, running on Windows 7, 32-bit. I did a disk check before defragmentation.

Hello

Windows that reports using its built-in algorithms and these standards, drives
do not defragment. However, there are other commands to change how the Defragmenter
reorganizes the files on the disk. 3rd party tools can also be used for added functionality and/or
different methods for the arrangement of the file.

    Hello.. a noob here,

    Although this change does NOT effect my symptoms, it has hurt anything either...

    Apparently, this switch works widely different from that

  • Add ons manager crashes after doing a Windows 7 system restore.

    Firefox has been restored from 23 Version to Version 20. Now, none of my Extensions or PlugIns appears and when I click on "Get Add-ons" I just get a "loading" and it crashes. I tried to delete the files extension.ini and extensions.sqlite and restart Firefox, but that has not worked. It seems that the add ons and extensions are there, but just not accessible through add on Manager.

    You would not lose personal data as extensions installed as long as you would not choose to delete personal data wouldn't you uninstall Firefox.

    You should always be careful with the system restore feature because Windows does not show you what files are restored.

    It is highly likely that some .ini. and the .js files in the Firefox profile folder have been returned to older versions.

    Have what kind of problems you had with Firefox 23?

  • Why carnt I defragment reserve hd system

    why I can't defragment reserve hd system

    Hello

     
    1. What happens when you defragment the partition?
    2. What operating system is installed on the computer?
     
    100 MB system reserved partition is used primarily as BitLocker partition for BitLocker encryption. In addition, he also holds the Windows recovery environment (WinRE) and startup files with the Boot Manager to start the computer for troubleshooting when there is no Windows 7 installation DVD disc on the spot.
     
    Disk Manager does not remove or modify this partition because remove or make changes to this partition could force the system to no boot. It is possible to hide or delete this partition, but this can be a very complex procedure and is not recommended.

  • What is Windows Defender system and from where it comes.

    Today at about 06:00 this program showed on my desktop from anywhere. He tells me I have 21 different Trojans, viruses, worms and other problems. I have a software that follows all this and he said NO problem on my computer.
    When I click on the little window that says delete told me I have to pay to get this deleted _ anywhere from $49.99 to 89.99.

    System Windows Defender is a fake anti-spyware that uses fake malware files and fake scan detections to fool you into thinking you are infected. Once installed, Windows Defender system will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. The installer will also create many files on your computer that will then be detected as malware when the program will scan your computer. If you try to remove these supposed infections with Windows Defender system, however, it will state that you must first purchase the program until he does. This tactic of creating fake malware files which will then be detected by the rogue program is a common one used by thieves to trick into thinking you are infected.
