• How to defragment the system disk?

  On my HP Windows 7 computer, the system drive access to the Disk Defragmenter tool showed a growing fragmentation since I bought the computer about 14 months ago. Despite the warning that only discs which can be defragmented appear, the entrance to the system drive refuses to defrag (all other defrag properly). The system drive now shows fragmentation of 26%, so there is obviously files being written and rewritten on this subject. Unless I'm missing something, the reader certainly require defragmentation. But how to do?

  I also use Diskeeper 2010 (version Professional first) and it keeps all my system files defragmented - I don't know it would deal with the problems you encounter (you can try a fully functional version for 30 days to see what it will do for you).

  It is very reliable and I have never had any problems with it whatsoever (the company has been around for a long time and they have great technical support if necessary).

  In my opinion, it's the best defragmentation solution available because it runs in the background (so you can use the computer while it defrags) and it also prevents the fragmentation. I suggest you to get the test and try - you can learn more about it at http://www.diskeeper.com/

  There is a free offer here for the full Pro first 2011 version of Diskeeper. [Edit - the last of the free copies are spoken for.]

• Defragment the System Volume

  Defragmenter Windows 7 shows C: drive and the system as separate volumes and never defragmented it. I have seen that the percentage of fragmentation is increased from 1% now 13%. And it continues to grow.

  Is this cause for concern and is it possible to defragment this volume?

  The system volume is for the restoration of the system. You cannot defragment it, but you can turn off System Restore and then turn it back on

  Or completely disable the system restore. You don't need

• Defragment the system drive

  Defragmentation function seems not to work on the displayed system drive. The percentage of fragmentation continues to increase. Is there some way, perhaps even with a third-party application to get this number back to 0?

  If there is no problem with the "System" partition it is size (100 MB) that is too small and opportunities can cause problems (Windows Backup and restore for example). Windows 8 solved this problem by increasing the size of 100 MB to 350 MB. I have encountered problems with fragmentation.

• my windows 7 is not defragment properly, the system files are 11% fragmented

  I have a Hp pavilion pc and when I try to defragment the system disk it dosent even run, its fragmented 11%?

  Are you referring to the 100MB system reserved partition?

  If so, I wouldn't worry about defrag it because she does not have any problem for your system...

  It's a small segment of the disc that contains primarily startup records.

  Original title: after a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now

  I had a virus which caused problems one of the minor being I've lost the system tools. It now says its empty when I open it.

  You don't need system defragmentation tools.

  You can defragment from the hard drive, then right-click of your hard drive, properties, tools, defragment now.

  Of course, you must fix your missing tools too.

  Part of the answer to the technical support engineer Microsoft does not too which make me think that the MSE has never actually tested this Board to see if it actually works or not.  It's a shame.

  In addition, these shortcuts are not part in the folder in any case.  These things must go in the folder for all users - if you don't want your XP to be ignored.  It is a source of embarrassment.

  I don't know what you used to remove the virus, but I could do that at some point (soon):

• Is it possible to defragment AND keep the system restore points to lose in Win XP?

  Sometimes my system restore points disappear and I have learned to rely on them.  I heard that defragmentation can erase the system - something to do with the Windows shadow copy service restore points.  Is there a safe way to defragment a hard drive (internal or external) WITHOUT losing any system restore points: both those created manually as well as automatically created? I have a lot of disk space and all criticalWindows updates. No malware. CHKDSK not display any errors.

  Joel-

  I really thank you goes out all the time and difficulties that you have not only to explain my problem but at the arrive at a solution that has worked for you.  I already read the CNET critical user of and download Ultimate Defrag, but have not yet installed it because I have a few questions that may be critical to my getting the same wonderful performance you met.  Not wanting to - by my own ignorance - replace one problem with another, can I ask if you know where I can find these answers? :

  (1) my PC has 1 G of RAM an and a Pentium 4 processor, a desktop Dell 8 years.  Have I not enough resources for the programme of work?

  (2) I have two internal HDs - a bunch of 80 G and 40 G Data - with a 1 t external for backups.  Will I be possible to defragment one at a time so that a period of 8 hours at night will give the app some time to run and complete - especially the first time I use it on every HD?

  (3) a review mentions a setting from the default installation for those who have my knowledge minimum tech. Is it choose a wise move in my case? I only will give non-essential options or options I'd understand even when doing this?

  (4) I need to turn off WinPatrol (Start Menu Manager) and install my Avast AV in addition to all the normal precautions for cleaning?

  (5) should I disconnect from the internet before installing (I have a shortcut on the desktop that allows me to turn off my DSL modem)?

  (6) can the program itself or its installer to run in Mode safe and which is preferred? Of course, I would create a prior restore point I have restart mode without failure.

  (7) a critic says that the 50-page help document is of no use to someone with my limited knowledge. Is there a training video or another type of help?

  If I have already imposed on you enough, perhaps some other experienced users could help answer the above?

  Thanks again!

• What happens on the free space of disks defragmenting the disc.when I used it is reduced. is this real case for all systems?

  Defragmenter free space but can free report incorrect running after the space.

  Run disk cleanup before defragmenting...

• What is the failure of the system to defragment effect the failure to save?

  Well, I posted this question before, but I think I've ruled out the obvious questions.

  My laptop was backing on a schedule like a charm until May-June when something happened. The last good walk back was in may, and no matter how I put the back upward, custom/windows recommended, make an image etc. I constantly get the message "backup failed" and that the annoying red bar.

  I thought maybe it was the external hard drive, which windows recommends that you use as a backup. In fact, I used this external hard drive before and when my hard drive crashed, it was a God send when I had to reinstall the operating system and all of my personal software.

  Anyway, I always noticed that when I would defragment, which is on a schedule, he used to always say 100% defragmented. All of this, the C drive, the HP system recover and HP tools.

  HOWEVER, I noticed that the system will not defragment completely. It has 5% not degragmented. It took place around the same time that the loss of the ability to save.

  (I saved on DVD but I wish she could be like it was before, updated the back ups periodically according to a schedule).

  Thus, the system refers to the registry? I know the least about how to deal with this. I fall short, I don't know how to fix it. This may be the reason why now the backup that is in my book - not the software provided with the Passport, but microsoft backup hard drive - does not work?

  If so, how can we get the system adjusted? Or register if it is what it is.

  Thanks for everything very specific advice for someone who doesn't know much about the registry.

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Three I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 8 years no 1 problem), Easeus Todo Backup free, you can download it from

  http://www.TODO-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm and Memeo , which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  The March 2012 issue of PC World is very high on Easeus FREE program, and I was recently tested in a variety of configurations and must say that I am very impressed. As Ghost will support up to a network drive and it will create a bootable CD for when your PC does not start. See commentary to PC World to

  External hard drives are the best for backup. You can get a 500 GB one for $70 and a 1.5 to one for about $90. You can also buy a flash drive 16 GB for as little as $10. It is the best insurance you can buy ever!

• 17.0.1 Firefox (and its windows install app) completely freezes the system (win7 x 64)

  Hello

  When I tried this morning to start Firefox 17.0.1 on my computer, everything stopped working.

Hard drive did a very monotonous thing all the time, so I thought that the material may be responsible. I rebooted and uninstalled the old firefox (I use the system normally begin at the moment that I start ff), rebooted to chkdsk and Defrag the disk. (During the uninstallation, I also removed the personal preferences). When I tried to install it again (I'm a webdev and I NEED firebug) application of installation exact same thing with the same monotonous hard drive operation. It occurred just after that I pressed the first button below and before step 2 text was displayed in the window (it was empty with back, next and disabled Finish button).

• Locking XP! error "the system could not log. Make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password again.

  Original title: Locking XP!

  I tried to read all the relevant messages and walked the Earth for this solution, if someone could help me I would be grateful.

  A dear friend died and I got his PC - a fast XP with SP3 which (elderly) she only used for web & email. His account has been "Judi".

  I noticed a while back that, on the logon screen, that there is another user called 'Fiona' (she told me an old co-worker who probably stayed with her).

  Now a friend in need of a very old HP PC Lions not having completely fortunately I managed to copy his files before he was insane - I offered this newer PC it after that I have "set up" for him.

  I put a new account in place on this new PC "Ken" has been added. Then, after the deletion of accounts Judi & Fiona, I cleaned the machine with MalwareBytes, CCleaner & defrag.  All is well now with only Ken appearing on the screen logon (with an image of the appropriate icon), that I used several times in the implementation of his e-mail account and move its acrossetc files. His password is empty.

  Being the only user now Ken, I thought that it strange would its user (only) one click each time to the 'Log in', so I searched and found a box that said something to the effect «... do not show a picture of connection...» » .  That started my problem!  Removing his login "icon" brings ONLY the following - FIONA!

  When connecting a Logon Message now says "the system could not log. Make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password again.  Letters in passwords must be typed using the proper case" the choice for this error message is 'OK', which takes you to a login screen 'Type Win98' older Classic looking (no icon user) who was behind this logon Message, with (name) Fiona appears on the login screen (former) (full name and empty below the password) , with the choice to enter the password or a stop!

  Of course the password cannot be guessed (Yes - tried blank, admin, etc.) so the only choice is to stop.

  VA F8 at startup for 'Safe mode' goes to screen black WITH Fiona login screen as usual safe mode above and booting with the CD using NTPASSWD shows the usual 1) Administrator 2) 3) invited Ken and 4) Support Microsoft - NO FIONA is shown - and I put all these passwords to 'empty '. Of course repair and recovery repair 'R' does nothing on the removal of Fiona

  This translates the original message & Fiona connection again.  How can I return to screen "image icon" connection without losing files and mail Ken Ken. Where Fiona could hide when it is not a USER of the NET?

  Yet once again, I'd appreciate any help. Brian.

  You should be able to just select (click on) "Fiona", press the delete key, and then type any desired account name.  It doesn't work?

  If you cannot type on "Fiona" in the logon window, you can use the following procedure to modify the Windows registry... or you can take the computer to an independent repairer and ask them to fix it for you.  Don't go to a chain of stores, as a "geek squad" or BigBoxStoreUSA type of place.

  Go here--> https://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-edit-windows-registry-key-values-without-booting-in-windows/

  Choose method 1 or method 2.  I'm familiar with Hiren (method 2), but not with the program described in method 1 (even though it seems simple).  Any ISO file you choose, I suggest to download and use ImgBurn (free) to create your CD bootable from the downloaded ISO file.

  The registry key to change is in the same place as "userinit" (which is the example used in the article), so to follow 1-5 step method or method 2 for step 7.

  You will be at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  In the right pane of the registry editor, you will see a large list of items.  Scroll down the page until you see LogonType and double-click it.

  In the "Value data" box, type 1, and click OK (1 is the same either hexadecimal or decimal).

  Close the registry editor, take the CD from the drive and reboot.  You should see the Welcome screen when Windows restarts.
