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.]

  • Pavilion c 500-437: free windows update 10 - how to make the system disk?

    I got this new system, which came with win 8.1

    I burned 4 DVD backup disks immediately.

    I did the free update for windows 10.  everything went well

    Now, I want to make the record system for Windows 10.   I see on the recovery partition, he has a record date 01/06/2015 10:02 2.01 GB free of 15.8 GB

    Great so what OS is on theat partition? 8.1? I guess that is how

    Second.-

    How can I do to burn the recovery system/dvd (s) for Windows 10.

    is there a FAQ for this particular situation, or am I in nomans land between hp and MS?

    Help, please.

    You are the very welcome.

    From any PC which is come with W8 or newer, there is no more stickers product key.

    Which was imposed in another attempt to reduce the illegal use of the product on the other PC OEM keys, which is a violation of the rules on the OEM licenses Microsoft PC manufacturers.

    The key that you received from the Belarc Advisor is one who is encrypted in the BIOS, and it is only good for your PC.

    The other problem is that the key cannot be used to activate a non - OEM version of W8.1.

    For example: you can download and make W8.1 installation of Microsoft support about the same way you just did to W10 installation media.

    The difference is the installation of W8.1 media that you downloaded will not work with OEM product key that you received from the Belarc Advisor.

    You need an OEM Setup disk to work with OEM product key.

    Personally, I think it's terrible, but that's what has Microsoft done.

    In other words, if your OEM recovery disks don't work, you are flat out of luck, unless you buy an OEM of Windows 8.1 version.

  • Satellite L650D - 10 H - how to recover the system?

    Nice day

    Today my OS on my laptop has been altered, he told me to restore my system. Windows recovery program does not work, every reboot of the same corrupted file. So I tried the vista edition Windows Home premium 64 bit dvd of my brother. Changed the options in BIOS and boot from there, but it took about 20 minutes to start the installer with the language menu.

    I noticed that the lamp 'written on the hard disk' shines all the time and from time to time the HARD drive is not listed in my BIOS. Maybe my HARD disk is damaged?

    Now my question is, how to restore the system or to stand up a new OS? What can I do to get my laptop still running? Where to send and what costs?

    best regards and thanks for any help
    oxxxe

    Edit: now the hard drive is still listed in the bios

    Post edited by: oxxxe

    Hi oxxxe,

    Generally you can restore the factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Have you created this disk?

    In General, if the HARD disk does not appear in the BIOS from time to time, it seems to be a malfunction of the HARD drive and it should be changed.
    If your laptop is under warranty, an ASP may fix this problem for free. A list of all the authorized service provider, you can find on the Web from Toshiba site.

    You can also call directly my pressing the windows and R key (which will bring up the Run dialog box) and typing in control sysdm.cpl

  • How to end the system idle process

    How to end the system idle process
    ... "it is to consume my whole CPU.

    system:
    HP pavilion g4 series
    Intel core i5

    No it's not! Maybe someone else can give a better explanation, but the way I understand it is that when your system is idle, the system shows 100% idle process or nearby and it is because it has no applications or programs that run, but as soon as you open a program or run an application, and it requires CPU resources say between 1 and 4%, you will see the system idle drop in numbers, which shows the amount of the resources required by the program or open application.

    So I believe that everything that is, show processor resources available to a given point in time.

    Now, a virus can attack the process and change his behavior? I don't know, but if you suspect a malware attack, run complete scans of your system just to be sure.

    Good luck.
