Defragment - more than 7 hours

While making a DVD with Roxio, encountered an error message 80004005 error during video encoding. Roxio support site recommended to defrag my computer.  I've implemented to defragment last night and this morning, it still says defragmentation.  Wonder if it is in a loop or it is actually still defragmentation.  How will I know?  Thanks for help.

I doubt the fragmentation is the question.

That said normal Windows Defragmenter is very slow (because it works by design as a background process), and is one that actually tells you how fragmented of the disc has a much faster way to defrag Vista. And it is easy to use.

I reboot and then open a command prompt by typing cmd.exe in the start of Vista box (bottom left click the ORB). Now right-click the cmd.exe program that will appear at the top of the list and choose "run as Administrator"

Now copy and paste or type exactly the following and just press ENTER. If there is different, substitute your drive letter c.

Defrag c: - v w

It will take a few minutes to scan the HARD drive and giving a detail on the report of the screen and then it launches into the Defragmenter.

It is finished when the "C:\Windows\system 32 > message reappears at the bottom."

Do not use PC or turn off until it does. The first time, is that it can take a while, but much faster than the standard defragmentation.

In addition, if you use the command

Defrag c: - a - v

So who's going to generate just the report to see how bad things are. In general I like to stay below 3 per cent fragmentation.

I'm planning to defrag turned OFF (because you found its slow) and defrag just as and when you use the command prompt. After the first run, which can take some time following executions are very fast, usually for me around 3 or 4 minutes.

Hope that helps, it of safe and well worth it IMO.

  • I have 3 short videos I tried emailing stuck in Outbox of my iPhone 6. They tried to send more than an hour. I can't delete them, "Change" is not available in the Outbox. How can I get rid of these so mail will stop trying?

    I have 3 short videos I tried emailing stuck in Outbox of my iPhone 6. They tried to send more than an hour. I can't delete them, "Change" is not available in the Outbox. How can I get rid of these so mail will stop trying?

    Can drag you across the message in the Outbox overview to get the Red delete button? It's been a while since I had paste an email in the Outbox, so I don't remember if that's possible.

    IF your account is an IMAP account, try to delete the e-mail on the Mac. Actions sync between devices in IMAP email, so they should be in the Outbox on the server and you should be able to get to them in the Mail from Mac application, use you it, or in a web browser on the server.

    IF this is not possible for some reason, try the mail application to the phone reboots and the closing force force the phone and then try again. Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Blow up the Swipe on application brief mail app to close

    To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    We have a laptop Toshiba Satalite U305-S5077 under Vista Home Premium.  My wife shut the system down this morning and it started to install updates more than 3 hours ago.  There 'if please do not turn off or unplug your machine. Installing Update 2 of 3 "on the screen.

    What should we do?  Is it likely to compleate on its on?

    There was a similar post, but it does not say if the system must stop or give an indication of what is a reasonable amount of time to wait, if it should take 5 hours I do not kill him 4 and to restore the system and do it again.

    Thank you

    It is not safe to shut down the computer during the installation of the updates. Although if it freezes you have to. You can perform a restore of the system to a point before you install the updates and then install the updates which has not installed again.

    Thank you

    I recommend you to restore system using a Windows 7 DVD.

    Here's how:
    To open the Options menu system recovery using a system repair disc or a Windows 7 installation disc
    If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the Windows 7 installation disc or a system repair disc previously.
    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.
    a. Insert the disc.
    b. restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    o If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.
    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it and then choose the system restore and check.
     
    If we are able to boot to the desktop now, I would ask you install the updates one by one andcheck the update is at the origin of the conflict.
     
     
     
    I hope this helps.
