defragment disk will not accomplish

My HP defrag disk utility runs every 20th of the month and never ends even after 2 days.  It is usually suspended around 20% defragmented. I have Windows 7.   Don't know how to solve.  Thank you.

Hello

You are welcome

Indeed, Windows 7 does a pretty good job to defragment your files automatically in the background, so there is no real need to start the process manually.

However, if you would like a separate defragmentation utility with a good user interface, the application free Auslogics is a good choice and can be downloaded from the following link.

http://download.CNET.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10567503.HTML?part=DL-6267754&Subj=DL&tag...

NOTE:  When you first run this utility, make sure that only the C Partition on your hard drive is selected in this application - none of the other partitions should be defragmented.

Kind regards

  • Recovery disk will not load on my Equium A210 - 17l

    For some reason, no matter what I do or try, my Toshiba restore disk will not start or load into my disc drive. I hear that many whirring noise and loud clicks, but nothing. I cleaned the disk, I have my BIOS set to boot from the CD/DVD drive. I have the disc, otherwise he would stay all day on a black screen. This leads me into the wall, my laptop is just out of warranty and my games/applications are running slower and slower each day. I can't afford the repairs, I need help! Anyone has any advice for me? Thank you

    * edit *: I forgot to mention, some discs not loading in my laptop but they load fine on my desktop (including my Toshiba restore disk) is anyway I can copy the files to my restore disk and create a new one? (I confess that there are some scratches)

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. It may be defective recovery DVD or optical disc drive may be defective.
    Try to use some other bootable CD/DVD like Microsoft installations CD or some Linux installations. If any of them work is ODD may be defective.

    Recovery image can be copied to the HARD drive and the new creation of media is not possible. If your recovery media cannot be used due to zero you can order the new copy under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Superblock is now ultimately nonexistent.

    Final:   Current situation: Zero out Once AGAIN , tried to install it, HD has failed.  A ran bootfix and installed SMTDRV.  Always the same black screen and invites as stated above, when you try to load Vista.  The thing F12, the same result.  DVD is fine.  The done of F2 and load default.  Guess that that same result.

  • HP14: HP/OEM Windows 8.1 disks will not activate Windows

    Hello

    Hello:

    I don't know why HP recovery disks do not work.  It should have been without having to activate the installation.

    However, if the W10 worked fine on your PC, and it had been previously activated, you can reinstall W10 without going through the process of upgrading again.

    Make installation W10 DVD or USB stick from the link below...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

    When you install W10, you will be asked to enter a product key (you do not have) and there will be a selection "I don't have a product key.

    You choose the option "I don't have a product key", W10 will install and once you are reconnected to the internet, it will activate automatically as Microsoft has a folder that your PC is already legally upgraded to W10.

    Hello

    > all I get is a window box asking what would like to windows do you, like what you get when you insert a music disc or vid
    This means you want to use the recovery disc in Windows? It will not work.

    The point is that you must boot from the recovery disc rather Windows on the HARD drive so until the computer starts to go into the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive like device starting. Make sure that the recovery disk is in the drive and the recovery disk will start. Now follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Recovery disks will not recognize my new hard drive

    Original title: why I can not reformat my upgrded from vista to w7 disk

    I can't reformat my vista upgraded to windows 7, as I tried to add another hard drive, which will not take my recovery disks. The message to reboot

    You try to add an additional hard drive or you try to replace the current hard drive with a new one?

    Recovery/restore disks are specific to OEM (made by the manufacturer that also makes your computer) unless you are lucky enough to actually have on the contrary an OEM copy of the operating system in question (Windows Vista I guess) and it is bootable and will guide you through a real installation of the operating system and not a "restore image."  What means what, is supported by the OEM in question for the method - no Microsoft.

    Now - you may be able to perform a new installation of Windows 7 using the Windows 7 upgrade media you have - depending on how you got it...?

  • Recovery disk will not start on Satellite 1110

    I try to use the recovery on a Satellite 1110 CD. I want to just install fresh Windows. The necessary files are supposed to be on the Toshiba recovery CD that accompanies it.

    So I did what the brochure says, and booted up the laptop to the top with the correct CD in the drive, while pressing 'C '. The notebook ignored the CD ROM and loaded Windows as usual. I repeated three times, each time that the CD ROM whirs a bit but will not start and Windows loads as usual. I have replaced 'C' for F12, chose the CD ROM drive in the list and repeat the process several times. Yet once it wouldn't boot from the CD-ROM.

    I looked at the content of the CD ROM A single MB 447. File of the GHS. The file icon is that generic type "Windows does not know what program this icon is intended to" deals.

    Google believes it is a ghost file and must the ghost installed to run it. This bitch never came with Ghost.

    Anyone here knows a remedy to this problem?

    (NB - I tried clean Windows system restore option, but it just brings back me to September this year. Theres no option that was more early in life for portable computers)

    I am in the United Kingdom, and is a UK machine if that makes a difference.

    Hello

    I bought a new HP Pavilion 550 - 055na with Windows 8 a month or two ago but want to use Windows 7. However, I decided that I will keep the hard, the PC came with, and have the option of Windows 8 in future if I want. So, I'm installing Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    Then me to a black screen after I pressed Enter/Ok, who said the following.

    Check the presence of the media...

  • Restore disk will not work need a windows copy XP where can I find one?

    My hardrive broken so I am new and my restore disk does not work where can I get a version of windows to put it on a floppy disk and use it on my computer OSless.

    XP has disappeared.

    your best bet is to work with the manufacturer of your laptop, maybe they xp on their shelves.

    also, the restore disks may require specialty measures to run for them to be activated.

    so for the two cases above, visit your computers home site and look for the model number of your laptop for the faq on the help of restore disks / recovery discs / factory restore.

    by the way, how broken is the old hard drive?

    He must have a hidden section on it with all the preserved original software which can be used to restore the hard disk.

    but this section could also be copied into the new HDD as well, according to which 'broke' implies.

    by the way, is that the technician who replaced your hard drive take a look at the restore disks too?

    Hello

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
