Disk Defragmenter goes 26 percentage, then restarts again

Original title: can not defragment

Hello

now I am having a problem to defragment my c drive. I did it once before and it worked well. A few weeks ago, I went to do it again, but he wouldn't, and I tried again yesterday and same problem. Here's what happens:

I go to defrag option where it shows all records. It shows that the c drive is 15% fragmented. I select "Scan disk". She did this, and I select "defragment the drive. It passes through 26 passes, one of which the last 3 are very slow. He then immediately shows the fragmented state of origin by 15%. as if nothing had happened.

am I missing something?

any help appreciated

Thank you very much

Hi Mark,

"C" drive may appear a few percent fragmented because of the restore points or part of the file system. Generally, this problem can occur when some of the system files could not be fragmented. Can you delete old restore (except the last) points and run the Defragmenter again? If you wish, you can remove all the restore point and then can create manually too:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/create-a-restore-point

If this doesn't help, go further.

You try to run the disk cleanup tool to remove the unnecessary files on the disk. This will help your computer run faster. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

Check out the link to do so:

Refer to the steps mentioned in the section "to clean up all files.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-7

Note: Once you delete the files from the system, please check if there is a restore point available (a more recent). If this isn't the case, create a new one.

Run the Disk Defragmenter tool again and check the results. It should now show the player 0% fragmented.

Please let us know if the problem still persists.

    First remove all the third-party RAM installed on the computer and re - built-in. Then, restart and test, whether the KIMBERLEY process continues to have a barrette of faulty RAM MEMORY.

    Finally, what third party RAM brand has been installed? In these forums, because the iMacs are sensitive and benefit from the high quality of RAM, the Crucial two (buy it direct) and the two OWC (www.macsales.com) RAM are recommended because of their high quality and reasonable price. You can also have another hardware problem, in your case I would try to boot from the Partition Recovery (command + R to start) and open disk utility to see if the boot disk is found. You can also use Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics according to the age of the computer to run a test to see if two applications can detect any material error.

    Hi, Leon,

    Always include computer make and model, please.  Thank you.

    Research in the Bios (reboot and press F1 or F2 depending on your system, check that all usb options are enabled (for example, USB legacy or support for USB 2.0 devices).)

    If there is a timeout parameter, set it to Max.

    Then, find the boot device priority section

    A USB flash drive, which is usually listed as USB - HDD, but may be listed as a removable device, will have a priority very low start.

    Rearrange the boot device priority so that the flash drive has a higher priority than the hard drive.

    Install Windows XP from USB key

    • Insert the USB key into the USB port on the computer.

    • Open the "I386" folder and find the file "Winnt.exe".

    Double-click on the "Winnt.exe" to launch a command prompt BACK to an installation of Windows XP.

    Type the path of the location of your "I386" folder in the DOS window. For example, if your USB is the letter "D" in your "My Computer" window, type "d:\i386" without the quotes and press the Enter"" key.

    Let the installation program copy the Windows XP installation files on your computer.

    Restart your computer to a command prompt. The Windows XP Setup will continue automatically.

    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The program will ask you your Windows XP product key in this process.

  • When you try to set up my Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center, I get this error message: "TV Setup has encountered a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. »

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

    screen A___
    WMC has discovered the following:
    Analog cable (1 Tuner)

    Other tuners or TV signals were detected but will not be configured.
    (Show details)

    Is this Setup correct and complete?
    o Yes, configure TV with these results
    o no, show more options
    ________________
    When I click on show details, it is said:

    screen B___
    No TV Signal
    If a TV signal should be present, check your signal for following tuners connections and try again:
    Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
    ________________
    There is another question, because he does not list my correct tv tuner. I click, so I'm now on A screen again.

    When I click Yes, set up TV with these results,-(for the analog option Cable(1 tuner), I select my cable service is, and then click Next.) It then displays a confirmation of analog cable and my cable provider, I click Next again and the error message "installation TV met with a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. "appears.

    I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

    I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

    -Doug

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.

    When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f..  If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps.  Can anyone help?

    It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.  That's the short answer.

    If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).

    On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):

    When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
     
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

    Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

    If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

    If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

    You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

    Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

    If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

    If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

    Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

    You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

    This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

    When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

    The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
    .
    These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

    Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

    When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

    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
    check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

    When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

    When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

    You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

    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 enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Description:

    Checking file system on C:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.

    A disk check has been programmed.

    Windows will now check the disk.
    39070048 KB total disk space.
    25151976 KB in 78653 files.
    48256 KB in 10264 index.
    0 KB in bad sectors.
    237080 KB in use by the system.
    65536 KB occupied by the log file.
    13632736 KB available on disk.

    Windows has finished checking your disk.

    If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

    If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.

    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 all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

    If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

    If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

    Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

  • I can not defrag.my PC, it is constantly in a X box [Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled

    complete the question was in my title.thank you

    When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).
