  How can I "defrag this Inspiron 570?"

  * original title - maintenance cleaning disc *.

  Hello

  In Windows 7, the defragment utility runs automatically according to a process in the background when the computer is idle, by default.

  You can use the link below for instructions to run Analyze the disk for fragmentation and also run Defragmenter disk manually, if necessary.

  Original title: errors of Volume disk, drive C is not visible when you try to defragment drive C in the maintenance of the system

  I tried to do a regular defrag of my C drive and received a message that there is Volume disk errors. The utility asked to reboot the system and clean the C drive. But when I access the defragment utility, drive C is not present there to use the application... suggestions?

  Hi Dante62,

  I suggest trying these steps provided below and check if the problem is resolved.

  Step 1:

  a. right click on the c drive.
  b. Select Properties.
  (c) under the Tools tab.
  d. Select Defragment now under defragmentation.

  Step 2:

  Try the SFC scan on the computer.

  SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

  Check the link for more information on CFS below mentioned scan.

• Vista Defrag Utlity

  Whenever I try to defragment my hard drive using the program under Vista, it goes on forever.  I leave defrag for more than eight hours and it is not yet done.  When I use defragmentation utility from other manufacturers, that the process is completed in time.  What wrong with Vista defrag utility?

  The thing about Defrag in Vista, it's that you don't need to run it manually.

  He does his work quietly in the background.

  In addition, as you know, there not an interface to let you know where you are, if you want to do it manually.
  By popular demand, has been abandoned.

  the pc displays the following string:

  It occurred after update win 8.1 to win10,

  Can you help me to know what it is?

  Is this a problem?

  can you tell me how to fix it?

  Hi there @Henry69,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are concerned with a 'new' partition which appeared on your system after the upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

  It's probably an existing partition that has been hidden under the older operating system, such as that contains a copy of the previous BIOS, so you can try to restore, in the event that you have a BIOS problem. With 10 windows and other operating system changes, these older partitions may become visible. This probably isn't a problem and normally of relatively small size, when you look at the size of a hard drive.

  If you are worried, I'd just take a screenshot and then check if there is no change over time to this partition. Also it never hurts to make security checks periodically on your system, as for malware, virus software, etc.  It is a good page for help with this kind of issue and in general to improve the performance of the system.

  HP PC - computer stops responding or becomes very slow after you connect to the Internet (Windows, 10, 8)

  Please let me know how it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

• monitoring the progress of disk defragmentation

  Is there a chart/graph of the current progress of disk defragmentation?  If so, how do you access?

  Hello

  Unfortunately there is no GUI when you use the Defragmenter supplied with windows Vista.

  An alternative that is very popular is the free version of Auslogics Disk Defrag available on the following link.

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

  When you first run the software above, will give you the possibility of partition (s) you want to defragment - as with any 3rd party defrag utility, only the C Partition must be selected.

  Kind regards

• Is it possible to schedule automatic defragmentation?

  I want to configure my Windows XP to automatically do a defrag on every two weeks. I tell myself that I have two choices: find some software that will launch the defragment utility supplied with Windows, to find a defragmentation utility that has calendar built in?

• Impossible to prevent (dfrgntfs.exe) Disk Defragmenter to run during System Idle

  How can I prevent the Disk Defragmenter Windows (dfrgntfs.exe) tool to launch automatically when my Windows Vista machine is idle?  I defragment my hard disk with IObit Smart Defrag software and do not want the Windows defrag utility constantly re-organization of the files on my hard drive once I optimized the placement of files with Smart Defrag.

  I checked the Windows Disk Defragmenter tool (start |) All programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Defragmenter) and regular defrags are disabled (i.e., the checkbox "Run on a schedule" is disabled).  I checked Windows Task Scheduler (start |) Administrative Tools | Task Scheduler | Task Scheduler Library | Microsoft | Windows | Defrag) and the task of ScheduledDefrag also appears as disabled here.

  My hard drive is formatted with the NTFS file system and my Norton Internet Security 2010 software Norton tasks window shows that dfrgntfs.exe starts about 30 minutes after my system goes into "idle" mode.  Is there another tool of Windows running in the background (for example, the Windows search indexing) which can be automatically trigger the Windows Disk Defragmenter?

  I hope that there is a simple configuration change or registry change that will stop the Windows Disk Defragmenter to run while it is idle, but still lets me run a manual defragmentation if I want to do.

  Lorien - one:

  Thanks for the quick response.  I'm failry certain that the ScheduledDefrag task in Windows Task Scheduler is not the culprit.  This task (and trigger) show that off and the task history shows that a regular defrag last ran on my system there is, over 2 years which is the time that I have disabled the checkbox "Run on a schedule" in the Windows Disk Defragmenter tool.

  I found a post today in the My Digital Life Forums (http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/1910-DfrgNtfs.exe-in-Vista-SP1) which suggests that there is a Vista boot optimization process that runs defragments dfrgntfs.exe whenever you reboot your system, even if in the application are disabled.  Is recommended that a response to stop dfrgntfs.exe to run after every reboot:

  1. open the Windows registry (run > regedit)
  2. go to path
  3. change the "Enable" key of Y to N

  I found information on the Start function to optimize on the Microsoft TechNet Library website (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778290 (WS.10) .aspx) which States that "Windows automatically optimizes for the optimization of startup file location. This optimization happens automatically if the system is idle for 10 minutes. Start optimization improves the start-up time to locate the startup files in contiguous clusters on the volume, reducing the movement of the head of the disc during playback of the volume".  I have no idea if third-party defragmenters like IObit Smart Defrag or Defraggler of Piriform can optimize the placement of these Windows startup system files or Boot Optimization provides some additional benefits to the performance of the system.

  I don't know if the Boot Optimization function is actually the cause of my origins unscheduled defragments but it's the only reasonable explanation I could find.  When these "silent" defragments happen on my system, they occupy more than 50% of my CPU and will last more than an hour (or until my system is idle).  I had problems with my system of freezing after it goes into idle mode (i.e., move my mouse or using the keyboard has no effect and I have to do a re-difficult start by turning off my laptop) and I begin to suspect that if this unscheduled defragmentation runs along with other tasks in the background (for example (, my daily QuickScan in Norton anti-virus) that a page conflict or lack of system resources could freeze my computer.

  I would appreciate hearing of a person who can confirm that the Boot Optimization function will trigger unforeseen defragments when Vista is idle or knows if the Boot Optimization function is all real benefits if you use a third-party Defragmenter.

• My computer has been infected with "Windows Vista restore" what should I do to get rid of him?

  The fake security program Window Vista restore"scans my computer and tells me I have several hard drive errors.  It has blocked access to my computers system restore and defragment utility, appeared to 'clear' all my files (like images taxes) and I get the error pop ups telling me to turn off the computer because "hard drive failures.  When I click on cancel, x or anywhere on the box, the system stops.   When I restart, the same fake program starts begins to scan my computer again.  I tried running my Trend Antivirus scan and when the scan is about 99% complete, the fake program does not scan continue.  What should I do to get rid of him?  I'm asked to pay for an upgrade of the software, but have not entered my card number.  I'm afraid that my data has been hacked... including the loss of my photo albums.  I'm currently installing updates to windows on the computer.  Will he get rid of it?

  Hello

  do you mean Windows Recovery?

  read this:

  Windows Vista Recovery is a program of analysis and optimization of fake computer that displays false information in order to scare you into believing that there is a problem with your computer. Recovery of Windows Vista is installed via Trojan horses that display fake error messages and warnings of security on the infected computer. These messages will state that there is something wrong with the hard drive of your computer, and then suggests that you download and install a program that can solve the problem. When you click on these alerts, recovery of Windows Vista will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer.

  Once installed, Windows Vista Recovery will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. Once started, several error messages appear when you try to launch programs or delete files. Windows Vista Recovery will then prompt you to scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors, he said, he can't fix until you purchase the program. When you use the defragmentation tool called it will specify that it should run in Mode safe and show then a background in Mode Safe false who pretended to defragment your computer. As this program is a scam do not be scared by buying the program when you see its alerts.

• Vista Home Premium x 64 lie "this copy of Windows is not genuine". Solution?

  Why my Windows Vista Home Edition Premium x 64 (active with the serial number on the side of the case more than 3 years ago) suddenly puts an overlay at the bottom right of my desk saying: -.
  "Windows Vista (TM)".
  Build 6002
  This copy of Windows is not genuine ".

  I have not done something 'new' with him, did not have any material (Chipset, processor and MAC address are the same, not BIOS updated firmware etc.) or installed a major service pack (just the regular updates for the Defender) and all of a sudden it tells me I'm a thief of cheating When I KNOW for a fact that I am not.

  I have never shared my license key with anyone. (at least not consciously) I've never disabled Windows. I didn't join a new area or changed my working group. I've not yet been messing around in my system registry these last time.

  This message is very disturbing, I realized that the 'Premium' features, which I do not use a fair bit, stop working shortly after this message.

  What should I do to reassure Windows that's really authentic?

  Oh, wait... I remember something that I do... I've been running thorough Defrags recently. Resized the Swap Partition (Yes, I keep a partition for the pagefile 'fixed size' and hide only) and changed the BCD to 'show' the Test of memory Vista boot option.

  One of these would cause?

  I do not see why and don't know what to do to fix.

  Actually... the problem is not that the defragment utility.

  If I jump the boot time defragmentation (or he analyzes that no hard drive need to be defragmented) no office message.

  If a drive is defragmented during startup, Windows isn't genuine this session.

  For all MSVPs, who may be interested to hear this strange story and understand why... the software in question is UltraDefrag.

• Basic laptop maintenance

  Here are a few things that you can perform on a regular basis to ensure that your laptop is in good working condition.  These suggestions are mainly for Windows 7, but should also work in XP, Vista and 8 (the steps may be slightly different however).

  Clean the cooling system of the laptop.

  A laptop has a limited amount of space on the inside to allow for air/ventilation.  Over time, dust and debris is based in this area, causing a build-up of heat upward.  HP has a document which covers this step as well as a few others to reduce the heat inside your laptop.  It is suggested that you do this every two months or more.  Here is a link to this document.

  Run Disk Cleanup and ensure that Disk Defrag is a calendar.

   

  Disk Cleanup will free up space on your hard disk by deleting unnecessary/useless files.  Follow these steps to run Disk Cleanup.

  1. Click Start and then click computer.
  2. Right click on your C: drive and go to properties.
  3. On the general tab, you will see "Disk Cleanup" in the Middle, select this option.
  4. I check all the boxes here, because none of these places should contain required system or user files.  You can leave everything you unchecked.
  5. Press OK and select "Delete files" when prompted.

  You want to make sure that the Disk Defragmenter is expected to operate on a time interval that your computer is running normally.  When you save files on a hard disk, they are stored in various locations such as the rotation of the discs (this does not apply to the SSD) and are not usually located in adjacent areas.  Disk defragmentation concludes the parties for files and moves them in areas that are closer.  This reduces the search time for your files - for faster operation.

  By default in Windows 7, the Defragmenter is annex to 01:00 every Wednesday.  I don't know about you, but my laptop is usually not lit in one morning.  Follow these steps to change the schedule.

  1. Click Start, type "disk defrag" and press ENTER.  This will bring up the application.
  2. Click on "configure" and set the schedule for a time more appropriate.
  3. Go ahead and launch the defrag utility by selecting "Defragment disk" in the lower right corner.
  4. Now your laptop defragment the drive by the instructions that you set in the annex.

  Make sure you have a real-time antivirus protection.

  
  Most of the users who have HP laptops will also have some kind of security on the laptop now.  It's usually something like McAfee or Norton.  If you have a program like this, or another program antivirus, you can skip this step.  Do not install two anti-virus.

  For those who do not have an anti-virus, I propose to install Microsoft Security Essentials.  It of free from Microsoft and may provide protection in real time.

  Make sure you have an adware/malware scanning application.

  
  Malicious software is no longer only takes the form of a virus.  The most common form of bad software is today 'adware' or 'malware '.  These applications are usually installed alongside other programs without your knowledge.  Do things such as analysis of personal information or allow more software to install.  I would suggest using either Malwarebytes or Spyboy Search & Destroy.  These programs offer no direct protection, so you will need to scan your system at least weekly and remove malware.

  Limit the number of programs that start with Windows.

  Programs tend to think that you'll want to load as soon as you start in Windows, everytime.  You probably don't need all of this software to load immediately with your laptop.  For example, you can use msconfig to decrease the amount of startup programs.

  1. Click Start, type "msconfig" and press ENTER.
  2. Select the Startup tab.
  3. Click on 'Disable all'.  This command removes all the startup programs upward.
  4. You have probably some programs you want to load during startup in order to double check those.
  5. In addition, recheck all startup items related to Kaspersky Anti-virus.
  6. Press OK and save changes if prompted.

  If you would like more information on speeding up the performance of your laptop, I have a few links for you.

  Improved performance in XP, ME and 9 x.
  Improved performance under Vista/7.
  Increase the performance of 8.

  I hope this information is useful!
