  Hello

  How do you know that never, it ends when there is no GUI on Vista for Defrag?

  in vista, the defragmentation process works silently in the background

  Unfortunately in vista it does not provide a GUI to show progress as it did in xp

  to do this, you'll need 3rd party defrag programs

• Impossible to 'System' to defrag Portion of the hard disk on Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro dvt7-3000

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion dvt7-3000 CTO that has a single disk drive hard 500 GB.  The operating system has been improved in Windows7 Pro (64-bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), but the problem occurs in both operating systems.  When conducting the defragmentation of the different hard disks (C:\ D:\, HP tools and system), the percent of the "System" drive which is fragmented never changes, while the % fragmented adequately for other readers going to 0%.  Over time, the system part of the hard disk rose to 27% fragmented.  How to defragment this drive?

  Hello

  The system partition contains the boot files and recovery for Windows 7 environment and should not be défragmentée.  It will always appear to be fragmented and it is quite normal - force this partition defragment would almost certainly avoid the Windows startup.  In addition, the fragmentation in this small partition has absolutely no effect on performance.

  For much the same reasons, the recovery partitions or HP_TOOLS must be défragmentées.

  Kind regards

• Equium P200D - Question about running out of space on the HARD disk

  First of all, let me say that I am a Silver Surfer and don't know much about how works laptop or where it stores information!
  I don't am not in the least HI - TEC so please be gentle with me.

  I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
  My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

  I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

  My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

  I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

  Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

  Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

  Hey Buddy

  If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
  It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

  In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
  These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

  So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

  See you soon

• Why is my hard disk so full?

  Hello

  I had a problem recently with my Compaq Deskpro EN, who has a 20 GB HARD drive Maxtor 6E020L0.
  He quickly lost space, and now it has 0 bytes of space on D:. C: I have 298 MB of space, which is OK, I guess.
  I continued doing disk clean ups and finally resorted to download several programs of cleaning disc. Those who have worked for a while and then it became new.
  I need help!
  Dave

  You should have 20% on C free disk space? What is D?

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  As Daavee said 20 GB is really very small even for Windows XP!

• When I connect windows, the hard disk works for several minutes

  Hello

  A few months ago and after installing some windows update (XP Sp2), I see when I login to windows, drive hard work continuously for several minutes and speed goes down.

  What windows software using the hard disk with log in?

  Thanks in advance

  motasemsadelghi

  What you see could be linked to a task that you have schedules (such as anti-virus, defragmentation of the hard drive, etc)

  Check the tab startup in MSConfig for items which currently running as part of the startup of your PC. See

  The foregoing is for XP, but also applies to Vista.

• The constant hard disk - system and DiagnosticAgent.exe wrote to 300 different activity. Files of the PNF at a constant rate - starting programs negatively impaired.

  Something similar to this began after a time, I was installing updates (somewhere in June or July). A month later, after I installed SP2 via the update, the problem presented differently (just as bad). Here's what I found recently of the reliability monitor and performance:

  -DiagnosticAgent.exe > C:/windows/inf/infcache.0 = wr 1.5 MB/min x 2 (constant) (sometimes up to 6 x)

  -System > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">
  -Diagnosticagent.exe > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">

  (total of instances of 1000 files .pnf; 300 different ones, several up to 12 instances of the same .pnf, half of them at least 4 instances of the same .pnf.)

  I don't see many cases playback from the hard drive. Even at 100% highest active time, the graph of the disc in the performance bed also monitor, an average of only 2 Mbps. When Disk Defragmenter is running, it is an average of 50 MB/s.

  This constant HDD activity about 1000 cases write in 30 minutes continuous .pnf files after startup and after awakening from sleep. While that happens, most of the programs, after loading, do not react for 5 minutes, then run as usual. Even the message control user account often fails to appear before it expires (in 2 minutes) during this time.

  I tried Googling on hdd constant activity on the PNF files, but did not find much.

  I will try using the restoration of the system again, although I had a few unsuccessful attempts with her.

  I have Norton Antivirus installed, which scans for viruses periodically. It is not really the cause of this unknown and unusual hard disk activity I know.

  Hi Tiscando,

  Welcome to microsoft windows vista forums!

  You did any recent changes of hardware on the computer?

  Have you run a memory diagonstic test?

  This question may be occurred due to services (3 programs) running during startup.

  I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot and check:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 - how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista

  (By putting the computer in clean startup - you can find which program is causing the problem)

  Note: Turn the computer back to normal once the test is done.

  Analyze the computer from infection by the virus:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx

  In addition, see the following links:

• A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

  I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

  Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

  Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

  You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

• Virtual hard disk is different from the physical?

  C:\Users\admin > vssadmin list writers
  vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool
  (C) copyright 2001-2005 Microsoft Corp..
  Error: Unexpected failure: catastrophic failure

  Hi all, it's a 2003 SP2 x 86 box of 50 gigabytes VHD. Normally on a physical server, if I get such an error I ran check disk, but not sure of the virtual. My question is - should I run check disk on a VHD? Looks like a question of OS, but the goal here is to find out more about VHDs. Is it a common practice to treat a hard virtual as a physical drive? Is in practice to run tools like HDD check disk, defragmentation on a VHD? Where the problem lies if the virtual hard disk has errors & how fix/repair VHDs? Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to the community,

  Basically, you can treat the virtual drives from within the guest as physical OS. Defragmentation may not be useful, but chkdsk is definitely something you need to run in cases like this to check the logical integrity of the NTFS file system.

• Drive light external HARD disk Warrior exploded

  I use DiskWarrior do a reconstruction of the hard drive to save the files, if possible. Hard drive does not appear on the desktop, which had been seen as a USB device on system information. During the reconstruction, the Seagate external HARD disk light exploded and is no longer visible to the Profiler system as a USB device. Should I cancel the reconstruction? Should I try disk referee to 'stabilize' the disc and run Disk Warrior?

  Can you describe the real problem which caused you to run DiskWarrior "to save the files?  Who can provide a clue about your current situation.

  If DiskWarrior' forever,' you have to cancel rebuild it later.  How long it has beed running?  It may take time, if repairs are done by DiskWarrior.

  DiskWarrior works repairing data directory player (which defines where the files are stored).  There are other types of utilities who hunt the disc for actual data.  For example
