• Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

  Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

  There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

  It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

  System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

  Kind regards

  Hello Lorin,

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  Delete files using disk cleanup

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

  System restore

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

   

  NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

  a. close all running programs.

  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

  d. Select "start Task Manager".

  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• Disk Defragmenter cannot open

  I try to defragment the disk, but I get this error message. disk defrag cannot open. Thanks for any help

  The exact wording of your error message would be useful? If you have installed an another disk defragmenter?

  Most Defragmenter problem arises a disk problem. Select Start, run, type cmd and press ENTER. Type "chkdsk c: /f /r" without the quotes and press ENTER. Make sure you include the spaces indicated. Enter Y when asked if you want to run chkdsk on restart the computer. Quit and then restart the computer.

  Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

  If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

  However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.

  Defrag never really finished because the files are handled constantly
  by the user. This can be seen by the fact that, after have defragmented once,
  go back to defragment a week later shows that fragmentation has occurred yet
  Once again.

  So, rather than having the user to decide on a routine of defragmentation, Vista does everything
  in the background, the applicant any intervention from the user. In this way, the
  hard drive is kept in good condition constantly instead of occasionally and
  Once again when the user decides that performance is affected by
  fragmentation.

  1. How do you do disk defragmentation?

  2. you use Windows or third-party Disk Defragmenter tool?

  3 when was the last time it was working fine?

  Check Add-ons on Internet Explore to the origin of the problem. I suggest you try opening Internet Explore mode without modules.

• Problem with function of Disk Defragmenter

  Running Vista 64-bit Home Premium on desktop Dell 519.  As far as I KNOW, all updates and patches are installed.  Just found out that defrag does not work since Nov 2011.  Has been fixed for the weekly Defrag, but that order happening right now for some reason any.  Of course, the manual defragmentation at this stage took several hours.  The message box now looks like this after that I updated the date information:

  

  Note that the "next scheduled run' is 'never', but 'scheduled defragmentation is enabled.  If I uncheck and together the box "Run on a schedule (recommended)", the next scheduled run is correctly Tuesday, may 6, 2014.  However, when I 'OK' from the window, then re-open it, at the next run yet, said '' never. ''  Whenever I change anything in the box, the 'OK' button becomes usable and clicking on it clears the area of the screen.  This is what it looks like after that I décliqués and reclicked the button "Run on a schedule.

  

  It's what I expected to see, but it is up to the message 'never', as shown in the first screenshot when you click on the OK"" button.  Any wisdom out there on this?  (Please note that I'm not an expert at this and probably won't get a response of type techno)

  Thank you, Bill.

  I posted to this existing topic because I wasn't sure if the glitch was still part of the same program, or even if I had a hardware problem or software.  Thank you very much for these links, I was actually on the phone with Dell when your answer came to my email, and the agent told me to try running the boot CD > computer > DVD player, what has worked.

  I'll put all those links you posted, I think that I will need them while trying to fix my system.  For future questions, I will be careful to post correctly.  Thanks again for your help and your patience!

• My Disk Defragmenter has worked all night and is still in course, would there be a problem?

  My Disk Defragmenter has worked all night and is still in course, would there be a problem?

  Hello

  The Vista defrag works quietly in the background without intervention on your part

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942092

  In Windows Vista, there are a lot of improvements in the defrag engine and handling of fragmentation. By default, Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to automatically keep the defragmented hard drive. This Automatic defragmentation does not affect the performance of the Windows Vista operating system...

  If you want to use a much better defragmentation program which is free and where you can see the results, I suggest this one:

• Problems with defragmentation

  .. .i seem to have a lot of Hell problems = _ =

  OK, so I use a Vista Home Premium on an Hp Pavilion laptop

  When I run disk defragmentation,

  (1) it never ends (even after 10 h + defragmanting, it wasn't completed. I don't know if it's because I was running a norton 360 scan at the same time, what does norton 360 stop. and I do not see the % that the computer has defragmented as there NO any bar or whatever it is to show how much has been done.)

  (2) I have lost space? (ok, this is weird seriously, I lost about 1 to 2 GB of space by defragmenting! I immediately stopped when trying to defragment the next day and realized that small pieces of my free space was endangered)

  OK, maybe I was not very patient, but come on, 10 hr + and defragmentation is not YET complete? It's crazy. my friend said that his computer (an earlier version of windows, not a vista) does same as long to defragment.

  and I don't think losing space is normal at all

  Anyone know what is happening?

  is there anything that can take care of better defragmentation?

  Hello

  Is this the same as checkdisk one will not work on? If so, this is part of the same show.

  Fix the checkdisk, then the defragmentation is likely to work better - it's checkdisk question can
  be fixed - there are ' ' maybe something wrong with the disc.

  Don't forget to run the disk cleanup or CCleaner before Defrag.

  Here are excellent free 3rd defragmenters party which I use.

• Defragmentation system problem

  Separated from this thread.

  These answers do not help somehow. What is the 'system' & why must he be defragmented if my readers are 0% fragmented?

  I click on defrag for system & nothing happens except that I thought that my system is 8% fragmented. Why?

  Quite honestly I would ignore it, but if you do not want to push a little further you can.  If you open disk management (just type "disk" in your Start menu/screen to find), you should see this drive system (which can be a real player, or just more likely partition).

  From here you can right click and assign a drive letter for a minute so you can explore the disc. Remove the drive letter when you are finished.

  But if that's what I think it is, these volumes being fragmented is usually because they gave no movable system on them, so they will always show as fragmented and since they are read-only will not same the defragmentation process.  It won't slow down your system, however, I am sure of that because he has not assigned a letter, it's guaranteed essentially it is not used for daily operations.

• Can you help me? I have run chkdsk, as no problem noted, but player says corrupted and can not run defragmentation.

  Problems to run defrag. In Windows XP or back tells me c is corrupted and running chkdsk.  Running chkdsk does identify a problem, but I can't always run defrag.  Tried several times, but no luck. Help welcome!

  try using the /r switch when you perform the chkdsk command, it will be bad repairs secotrs and look for readable info:

  from the command, type Echo Y | chkdsk C: /r

  Restart the computer with the / r switch instead of chkdsk will be 5 steps, it will take a while.

• Problems running the check disk and disk defragmentation

  I tried to throw a disc defrgmentation and I ask rubbing a disk check I don't know how. I tried to go to the Run comand.com, which is written ' chchdsk/f' and tells me that it is a function of "read only". My system information, it says I have Service Pack 3. Help, please. Everything else works fine.

  When you run chkdsk /f in the command prompt window, you should see a message like this:
  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.
  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
  checked on the next reboot of the system
  ? (Y/N)
  If you answer "Yes" by typing Y, chkdsk /f turns to the next boot XP (or he will try to run).
  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do it yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run, and in the box enter (or copy and paste):

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a recent event proposed Winlogon, and it should look like this:

  Event type: Information

  Event source: Winlogon

  Event category: no

  Event ID: 1001

  Date: 04/08/2010

  Time: 11:25:57

  Description:

  Please wait while your computer restarts.
  If your report has errors, you may need to run chkdsk /f again until the report indicates no error.  If you get errors, then your hard drive may be failing.
  If you want that take us a look at your report of chkdsk that you see in the event viewer, you can copy it to the Windows Clipboard and paste it back here like this:
  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis
  .  Remove personal information from your information
  After having stuck if you are forced to do so.
  If you paste an event, it will look something like this annoying system startup event:

  To get a fresh start on any log of the event viewer, you can choose to clear the log (the log backup is available), and then reproduce your problem, then just look at the events around your show and troubleshoot events that are happening when you have your question.

  Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
